Washing by hand also prevents the aluminum base from oxidizing or discoloring, which often happens in the aggressive environment of a dishwasher. If you must use a dishwasher, choose a gentle cycle and avoid high-temp drying to minimize potential damage to the 17-piece set.

This VEVOR granite-style cookware set is technically "dishwasher safe," but hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the life of the non-stick coating. The high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can cause the granite finish to break down and lose its "easy-release" properties over time. Because the set uses a non-stick coating, food residue usually slides off easily with just warm soapy water and a soft sponge.
