YES..the dishwasher will affect the non stick on anything. If I have anything stuck on mine, I just cover it with water, doesn't take much and a few drops of Dawn while I'm eating, then when it's time to wash dishes, everything just wipes out. That trick works on eveything. Hubby noticed because he does the dishes. I still amaze him at times..just sayin..OH and...frogmats work great in AF too.
This is the sign that hangs above my sink. .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
