Okay, be honest, can I put my air fryer basket in the dish washer? (self.food)

Update: Turns out I was too concerned. The manual actually says to use the top rack.

What are you concerned about? The manual for the device should tell you if it's okay or not.

I'm just always skeptical about things that say they aren't dishwasher safe or require a delicate cycle in the laundry. Example, some water bottles say they aren't dishwasher safe but in reality they're fine on the top rack. Stuff like that.

As @[email protected] stated, you should be OK following what the user manual suggests.

A lot of the time, products will say "not dishwasher safe" not because the item would be functionally damaged, but because it would be cosmetically damaged, and the company doesn't want to deal with complaints about a plastic handle changing from glossy to matte.

Most not-dishwasher-safe plastic means 'drying cycle will damage'. So taking out to hand or air dry sorts it
