    yep, got in a rush one day and put my rice cookers aluminum bits in the dishwasher.

    Not ruined, but definitely permanently discolored and ugly looking, and harder to clean now thanks to it.

      You guys arent talking about aluminium thats been under the hood of a Honda Civic for 25 years, heat cycled literally thousands of times and covered in all manner of filth.

      I was not restoring Ferarris.

        The bare aluminum became discolored, rough and ugly. Food sticks to it more, requiring more scrubbing to clean them. I dont know what that reaction is from a materials science perspective, though, if thats what you’re asking.
