Sorry LIBERALS but if a FOOD CONTAINER can't handle going in the DISHWASHER maybe you SHOULDN'T MAKE IT

no but seriously though

Copper will oxidize in the dishwasher and turn green. Copper-oxide is very toxic, so doing so is unsafe.
Imagine having to worry about your pan poisoning you just from trying to wash it
This post made by stainless steel pan gang
In my defence I didn't realize my pan was sentient, hates baths, and is very vindictive.
is your pan a cat?
ceramics exist so you don't need to worry about heavy metal poisoningI mean you're probably not using copper pans unless you're a fancy chef anyway
And if you go to most stores and buy a pot or pan they advertise as "copper", then you're literally just buying something with copper-colored non-stick coating, and it is not actually made of the metal we commonly call copper. Dumb shit.
You can put cast iron in the dishwasher once or twice, as a treat
But you'll be re-seasoning afterwards
Yet there's no need. Washing a cast-iron pan takes no more than 20 seconds, even after cooking sticky messy foods :)
Username checks out
And if you really have to do more than the 20 second plain water rinse and rub (never use soap on cast iron), start dry and scrub with equal volumes of salt and oil.
Best I can see when searching, green copper oxide is basically inert biologically. Plenty of complaints about the toxicity of nanoparticles, but that's a whole other game.
huh
i've heard many times that something about copper in dishwashers is unsafe, just assumed it was the copper oxide
