Many colored glass kitchen canisters can be cleaned in the dishwasher, as well as being safe to use in the microwave. Since spices, pasta, cereal, and baking ingredients are the most common items these canisters are filled with, they must be regularly cleaned at high temperatures to kill bacteria and maintain optimum hygiene.
When placing your canisters in the dishwasher, handle them with extra care. The fact that they are made from glass means they are extra fragile, so it’s important you load them into the dishwasher’s top rack, using glass holders if your dishwasher has them. Remove them gently to avoid breakage.
