Dishwasher 101: what's not dishwasher safe? Loading do's and dont's > Cast iron skillets can become rusty and lose their protective coating. 2 > Anything wood, including utensils and bowls which can warp and crack. > 1 Aluminum pieces are prone to scratching and might lose their shine over time. 3 4 Always load sharp items, such as knives, handle side up. No need to pre-wash and waste water. Just scrape off food and load dishes. Make sure the forks and spoons don't nest together. Place some handles up and others down.
