Dishwasher Safe Cookware(stainless)

[Steamtrain]

I need new cookware that i will be able to put in the dishwasher. This cookware will go in the dishwasher, should be full clad(not just base) and stainless cooking surface.

While surfing the net i have liked the cuisinart multiclad pro and allclad stainless, are there better cookware lines that i'm overlooking in my search? Are people going to be hurt when i put the cookware in the dishwasher?

I put my regular All Clad and my copper core All Clad in the dishwasher all the time. I love my copper core, but it's not induction approved, but the regular stainless is. Neither have suffered any harm by going in the dishwasher.

I don't know about better, but there are certainly lines that are more or less equivalent. The Le Creuset, KitchenAid, Calphalon Tri-Ply and Viking ranges come to mind immediately, and there are probably others made by companies like Meyer for private labels like Sur La Table.

I'm wondering about the fully-clad requirement. That eliminates some excellent cookware for reasons I don't understand: Demeyere and Sitram are two.

As for dishwasher-safe, that's a matter of aesthetics. Except the cast-iron pieces, I run all my cookware -- including non-stick -- through the dishwasher with no effect on utility.

I put my stainless Fissler pots and their glass lids in the dishwasher all the time and haven't had any problems. I've had them for around 12 years, the last 5 or so with a dishwasher, and they get used a lot.
