Customer Review: How to fix accidental automatic dishwashing
Summary: 4 Stars
Messed up and stuck your brand new attachments in the dishwasher? Noticed grayish crud in your cookie dough? You don't need to toss your attachment, it can be fixed.
All of these burnished (read: polished) aluminum attachments are protected by a thin layer of aluminum oxide that readily forms when aluminum metal is exposed to air. Aluminum oxide is quite hard, but the naturally occurring layer is also quite thin. In anodized aluminum, the oxide layer is made thicker via an electrolytic process, but it protects the metal the same way.
Anyway, this protective oxide layer is why aluminum doesn't tarnish. But the oxide layer can be compromised fairly readily by running aluminum through the dishwasher.
Dishwasher detergent is quite alkaline, and the dishwasher runs at fairly high temperature. These are two of the three main characteristics of automatic dishwashers that allow them to remove/dissolve materials on dishes without scrubbing. For uncoated aluminum, the dishwasher can strip the oxide layer and allow the metal to react with other chemicals in the dishwasher to create aluminum salts. These are soft, somewhat powdery, and look like silver tarnish. The salts aren't dangerous, but they are kinda gross.
To restore your burnished beater and other similar attachments from accidental dishwashing (or harsh handwashing), you can do the following:
Boil the attachment in a solution of 2-3 tbsp of cream of tartar, lemon juice, or vinegar to 1 quart of water for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with cold water and follow with a light scouring with a steel wool pad and/or a light abrasive (Barkeepers Friend is perfect). This is a modified form of recommendations from the Cleaning Institute, and it works very well.
After that, stop putting aluminum and fine glassware in the dishwasher for crying out loud. Yeah, I'm talking to myself.
Other than having to do this, the beater has worked great. There are other plastic beaters that work better for light mixing duty by incorporating side-scrapers (SideSwipe for KitchenAid Tilt-Head Stand Mixers), but the aluminum beater is really ''unbeatable'' as a general purpose attachment.
