Tiskipesettävät

Tiskipesettävät is a Finnish term that translates roughly to "dishwashable" or "dishwasher-safe." It refers to items, primarily tableware, cookware, and kitchen utensils, that are designed and manufactured to withstand the high temperatures, water pressure, and detergent used in automatic dishwashers without sustaining damage or deterioration.

The suitability of an item for dishwashing is typically determined by the materials from which it is made and its construction. Common materials like ceramic, porcelain, glass, and most stainless steel are generally tiskipesettävät. However, certain finishes, glazes, or decorative elements on these materials might not be. Items made from wood, certain plastics, cast iron, aluminum, or those with delicate hand-painted designs are often not tiskipesettävät and can be damaged by the harsh dishwasher environment.

Manufacturers will usually indicate if a product is tiskipesettävät through a symbol on the item itself, its packaging, or in the product description. This symbol often resembles a plate with water jets or a rack. Failure to adhere to these guidelines can lead to warping, fading, cracking, or loss of finish. Therefore, checking for the tiskipesettävät designation is important for maintaining the longevity and appearance of kitchenware.
