Not being a billionaire, I only own one piece of All-Clad--a small stainless frying pan which I use very frequently for frying eggs and making various tomato and cream based sauces. It is the perfect size. When I'm done, I toss it in the dishwasher and it comes out like new.
I also own a bunch of Cuisinart Multiclad (stainless) with the old handles (which I prefer over All-Clad) that I got on clearance, and the new handles (which seem flimsy) that I got on eBay. I really like them and think they conduct heat as well as All-Clad but have a nicer rolled edge for easier pouring. The handles also have a more comfortable feel.
Unfortunately they have one problem. When these come out of the dishwasher, they have a white coating on the interior (food side). They look like they were used to collect sweat at the health club and then allowed to evaporate.
Is it just me, or does All-Clad have an undocumented feature that makes them easier to clean?

I would not put any decent stainless cookware in the dishwasher. It's easier to clean than nonstick, and you dont have to worry about dishwasher film.

I agree with this since I have SS cookware. It does not go in the dishwasher. Any staining on the inside or bottoms is dealt with a SS cleaner. The mirror finish is lightly buffed with a dry dish towel.

Try using a cleaner such as Bon Ami or Barkeeper's friend on your Multiclad. It works well on my Allclad when it gets like that.
And I don't understand why other posters don't put their stainless in the dishwasher. I can't be bothered with anything that requires special treatment--although I confess I barely care what my cookware looks like. I've got a nonstick-coated aluminum frying pan too big for the dishwasher that looks like hell on the back. I don't cook on that side.

One good reason for me not to put pans in the dishwasher is that my dishwasher never has room to put a pan after I have the dishes loaded. It takes no time for me to fill a dishwasher. It's full after breakfast and lunch and no room to put one pan. Dee Dee

My pots and pans are on constant display rather than in cabinets. For that reason I want them to look their best. The dishwasher leaves spots that I just don't like so I wash them by hand. It really is not much extra work to have them looking nice. I don't put my non-stick fry pans in the dishwasher either simply because it takes little effort to clean them on the few occasions they are used and of course cast iron can't go in the dishwasher. I don't put any of my good knives in the dishwasher either. They are washed immediately, run over the sharpening rod, then put back into the block.

I don't because in order for my pans to come out clean, I have to wash them before I put them in the dishwasher. Actually, when I do dishes, I always wash them by hand. I dont really trust the dishwasher to get things clean- and yes, I know that the water gets hot enough to kill all the germs. I just do not fancy particles of food stuck between tines of forks and in the inner depths of the tops of sippy cups.

My pans hang on the wall. I don't care if the backs of some of them are "seasoned", or the stainless ones have waterspots. They're tools, and signs of use are not a bad thing in my view. Some of them look almost as cruddy as ones I've seen on "Great Chefs".
Someone else mentioned that she couldn't fit her pans in the dishwasher. Hmm. Didn't think of that. With only two adults in the house, we run ours slightly less than once a day, including pots.
Yet a third poster said her dishwasher didn't get pots clean. I'd consider that time for a new dishwasher, but YMMV.
