'WHAT CAN IBIE'WASHED
Most household goods such as plates, saucepans, and flatware can be machine washed. If you are unsure, check with the manufacturer or, if this is not possible, wash one item of a set over an extended period and then compare it with the rest of the set. The user is responsible for what is washed in the dishwasher.
