Dishwashers are lifesavers in the kitchen. They can get a mound of dirty dishes and utensils sparkling clean in a relatively short time with minimal effort. But despite popular belief, they are not the best way to wash everything. In fact, their high-water temperatures and drying functions can actually ruin some items.
Although many items carry the label ‘dishwasher safe,’ there are also many that do not. So how do you know what can and can’t go in your dishwasher? How do you know what items are not dishwasher safe?
什么是洗碗机安全？
让我们首先回顾一下“洗碗机安全”的含义。厨房物品的制造商通常通过将产品标记为“洗碗机安全”或“不安全的洗碗机安全”来帮助我们。您通常可以在餐具底部找到符号。“洗碗机安全”符号包括一个盒子，里面有盘子或眼镜。线条或液滴表示盒子中的盘子上的水洗。“不洗碗机安全”符号通常是一个带有X盘的菜肴的盒子。有些人可能表示“仅洗手式洗手”，这显示了手动洗手板。这些也可以在餐具的底部找到。
Some products don’t have any dishwasher safety symbols at all. So how do you identify if these products are safe to put in your dishwasher or not?

What Is Not Dishwasher Safe?
信不信由你，有很多您不应该在洗碗机中放入的物品，因为它们不是为了承受洗碗机周期而制作的。通过洗衣机运行这些物品可能会损坏物品，或者最终可能会降低洗碗机的有效性。
Here are some items we don’t recommend putting in your dishwasher:
Cast iron pans。在高温下，延长接触水和恶劣的洗涤剂会破坏锅的饰面，并最终导致过早生锈。
Wooden cutting boards and utensils。长时间的高热量和水暴露在很长时间内会扭曲，破碎，并最终打破木板或器皿。因此，最好将这些物品排除在洗碗机之外。
古董或手绘中国。尽管中国通常被认为安全地在“轻”或“中国”的环境上洗涤，如果是古董或手绘件，洗碗机最终可以磨损精美的细节。任何精致或手绘的物品都应始终用温和的洗碗皂手工洗涤，以保存原始艺术品。
Expensive chef’s knives。The heat and water pressure from the dishwasher jets can eventually dull the blades and remove the coating that protects the knives from rust. Again, hand washing these types of items is recommended.
Gold rimmed dishes or glassware。Like with other delicate items that have detail to them, the heat from the dishwasher can wear down and eventually remove some of the gold and/or metal detailing.
Aluminum or copper cookware。The high temperature will eventually dull and darken the color of these pots and pans. If the pan is not ionized, the water jets, over time, can also cause pitting and corrosion. Taking a little extra time to hand wash these items will help extend their life.
绝缘杯。高温不适合用于隔热这些类型的杯子的材料。热量可以收缩或分解绝缘材料。如果发生这种情况，则损坏了杯子的绝缘特性的真空密封件，这会使杯子在绝缘效果降低。
带有标签的菜肴仍然附有。这会影响洗碗机功能的能力。标签可以放松并在洗衣机中掉下来，这可以堵塞您的洗碗机过滤器。这可能在将来引起问题并防止清洗清洗。
Crystal。洗碗机周期中的热量和运动可能导致某些物品转移。这可能会破裂精致的物品，因此最好手工洗涤任何有价值或精致的物品。即使需要更长的时间，也值得保护这样的宝贵物品。
