Yes, the stainless steel wire design is gentle enough for non-stick surfaces when used with reasonable care. Avoid scraping or pressing hard against the pan surface. What can I use this for? This wire strainer is ideal for lifting dumplings, pasta, vegetables, and fried foods from boiling water or hot oil. The wide mesh design drains liquids quickly whilst retaining food. It also works well for skimming foam from stocks and soups. Is it dishwasher safe? Yes, this wire strainer is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The stainless steel head resists rust and maintains its appearance through repeated dishwasher cycles. What's the lifetime guarantee? KitchenAid provides a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. If the product fails under normal use due to a manufacturing fault, it will be replaced.

Visit our contact page Care & Use Instructions Before first use: Wash in warm soapy water or dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue. Daily cleaning: Dishwasher safe on any rack. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a brush to clean between the wires if needed. Dry promptly to prevent water spots on the stainless steel. Preventing rust: Although the stainless steel is rust-resistant, dry it promptly after washing rather than leaving it to air dry. This maintains the appearance and prevents any water spotting.
