I have read from several in this group that have done it and say it is
fine.

Before I try it I would like to hear if anyone says don't do it.

Seriously, I doubt anyone here has advocated putting a Fry Daddy or similar
unit in a dishwasher.

Just make sure to unplug it.

I would think that the biggest problem with the dishwasher would be
heat. I should know. I have melted about everything in the house that
is not dishwasher safe.

A Fry Daddy is built to take the heat. You would think it should be
ok.

Uh, No. The problem is that the unit is electrical and isn't built to be
immersed. While the dishwasher does not technically "immerse" -- as in
dunk -- in water, it certainly will get water into all of the nooks,
crannies, cracks and thereby into the electrical workings. Should the unit
be sealed appropriately to make it safe? Maybe. But the manufacturer
specifically indicates the unit should not be run through the dishwasher.

Water + electricity = equals safety problem. You wanna end up like the
Baptist minister who got electrocuted in the baptismal pond recently?

Don't be an idiot.

"Washing" in the dishwasher doesn't melt things, it's using the drying element
that does. Turn off the "dry" cycle when washing plasting items. You'll
also reduce your electric bill by doing so as well.

I had a fry daddy for about 30 or more years, it just went out on me. It said dishwasher safe. It was one of the first made. The reason I am looking for a new one. Don't recall the brand.

And you believed them!? What? Thirty years wasn't enough?

Why would anyone put a device with an electrical outlet in the
dishwasher? Must be a troll.

There seem to be a lot of gmail trolls. No one in their right mind
would put a Fry Daddy in the dishwasher. Not even 30 years ago. nb was
being facetious, I'm sure.

From the manual that came with my FryDaddy:

Care and Cleaning
1. Remove plug from wall outlet and then from deep fryer. Then, allow oil and fryer to cool completely in a safe place.
2. After unit and oil have cooled completely, empty cooking oil, or cover unit with storage lid.
3. Wash unit and scoop with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Never immerse unit in water or other
liquid, or wash in dishwasher.
4. Dry fryer completely. Even a few drops of water in the oil can super heat and turn into a volatile steam that may caus
