I never put plastic in the dishwasher even if it says it’s dishwasher safe. Like so many tupperware I own have warped over time even if it says it’s safe in the dishwasher and microwave. Also I like to reduce my micro plastic intake.
Does your washer use a “heat dry” cycle at the end? Ive been putting in plastic lids on top and bottom racks but shutting off the heat dry setting for years and nothing’s warped, I think that’s the major culprit
I hate dishwashers. They use more water and time than hand washing, and don’t even do a good job cleaning them.
Dishwasher use less water and energy (for heating) than hand washing does 🥰
if your dishes aren’t clean then try putting dishwasher powder in the machine as well as in the small door for it.
if you want a deep dive then I highly recommend “technology connections” a youtube channel which has a longer video on dishwashers (and some tips on how to best use it)
