Pewter flatware

21 years ago

Has anyone had any experience with pewter flatware and washing them in the dishwasher. I love the feel and look of the utensils, but the manufacturers often include warnings about dishwashing them. I am not that picky about keeping everything looking brand new (I do put my wood handled steak knives in the dishwasher). Just wondering how much damage the dishwasher does to them.

Thanks!

I have never heard of pewter flatware being made in the past 150 years.
Pewter is a soft alloy....bends easily and is reactive with acid foods and salt.
Are you sure it's pewter??? Who is the manufacturer?

There are several manufacturers that have pewter flatware in their lines. I know they sell them at Pottery Barn and Horshow, for instance. The handles are pewter, the actual eating part in stainless steel.

Here is an example;
