Reply to comment by bizengineer in Just bought an All-Clad D5 Stainless Steel frying pan for the first time. Just cooked eggs in it and they slid right out. Wish us luck! by femifist26

Apparently they develop sharp edges if you wash them in a dishwasher frequently. They also get spots on them from the dishwasher (which I discovered myself).

Interesting that All-clad says they are dishwasher safe. I’ve been putting my D5 in the dishwasher for years. Will have to take a look at the edges.

They are technically dishwasher safe but they recommend hand washing. I bought them specifically because I hate hand washing dishes. Mine go in the dishwasher and are still holding up well after a few years.

Be careful with the d5 pans in the dishwasher. I don't know if this is true for the d3 as well, but at the lip of the pan, the center layers are exposed and can rust horribly if left to air dry or put in the dishwasher. I read a ton of complaints about this issue when I was shopping around, so I hand wash mine.

Hasn’t been an issue for me. If I hand wash them they air dry in a rack. No rust yet, have had them for about 7 years

I've had a full set of d5 for 13 years, since their release, have nearly exclusively cleaned them in the dishwasher except for times I've used barkeeper's friend, and not carefully.

No rust. No damage.

Don't listen to anyone who tells you to baby these pans. They're bomb proof and will probably outlive me (and I'm not old...).
