I’m surprised to see these described as “dishwasher safe.” We put a hard anodized Calphalon pot in the dishwasher once and it came out horribly mottled. I did some research and found that result is typical.
Maybe these pots use a newer variant of the anodization process that doesn’t do this.
@HankB33 The mottling is an indication of problems with the water or the dishwashing detergent. Very hard water (low-pH, slightly acidic) can attack the anodization. So can water with a very high pH. And some dishwashing detergents contain compounds that will do things to the anodization as well. That said, the usefulness of the cookware should not be compromised, just the appearance of the outsides of the pots and pans.
@werehatrack We have Lake Michigan water (~135ppm hardness) which is not particularly hard or alkaline so I suppose it is the detergent we use. Since then we’ve been washing these pots by hand and the mottling on that one is nearly gone. It’s not a big deal and it’s good to know that the finish is not otherwise harmed.
Our Calphalon has otherwise been durable (except for the one pot with PTFE coating.) Between that and some Revere SS pots that must be about 60 or 70 years old we’re good. (And a few cast iron pieces.)
@HankB33 my anodized set claims to be dishwasher safe, but I love them so much I don’t risk it for exactly the reason you mention. I hate hand washing anything, but I do it for my pots and pans…which I received in an IRK no less, so the effort balances out the score from an IRK

Where are the cathodized sets?
I think this deal just might pan out.
If only the non stick could cover the rivets.
Remnants from the Mehrathon?
@heartny
That’s what I came to see about. Are they the same ones…
@heartny @Lynnerizer Nope! This is a new set we just received in last week. Mehrathon was a 9-piece.
Pretty meh deal. Just get steel for your next meal!

The SS lids are fine in the dishwasher.
@HankB33 Maybe your dishwasher is set to over 450°?
@rpstrong Nope. Heated dry is disabled. And I can confirm because we wash plenty of plastic that would melt or burn at 450°F

Please, please, please don’t let “AquaShield” turn out to become the next PFAS horror show.
I had this exact set and the coating only lasted under 6 months before pealing off like a sticker. They didn’t honor warranty.
