Oh my goodness. I'm not looking to get off topic but no, not in the dishwasher, by hand so it oozed thru my fingers, and I'm so surprised to find out someone else does that. My mom and little brother were going away to visit relatives, I was 16 and stayed home with my dad. She taught me to cook some simple things and "rinse the meats before you use them". I thought that included chopped meat and it became one of those family legends that won't die. Dad took me out to dinner that night.
