Yes, Zalto glasses are dishwasher safe. Because they are lead-free and remarkably thin, use a gentle cycle and ensure they are securely positioned to prevent them from knocking against other items.
These glasses are exceptionally lightweight and feel almost ethereal in the hand. Despite their delicate appearance, they are surprisingly durable, though they require a more careful touch during handling and cleaning than heavier, mass-produced stemware.
