The pitcher can indeed go in the dishwasher. The 72-ounce Ninja Pro Blender 1000 pitcher is constructed of BPA-free plastic and has a spout for simple pouring. The pitcher, lid, and blade assembly may all be cleaned easily in the dishwasher. You may also use the self-cleaning feature by including some water and a sprinkle of dish soap in the pitcher, running the blender on high for a brief period, and then rinsing it out.
