I am very disappointed. The product features very clearly state: "Dishwasher Safe; model number: CC3010" The box for Model CC3010 very clearly states: "Do not wash in a dishwasher." It's cheap enough that I'll probably just keep it and see what happens. I'll update it and let you know if it survives the dishwasher, but right now I'm definitely peeved.

I ordered this because it was affordable, because it shipped through Amazon (so I got free 2 day shipping with Prime), and because its size is adjustable.

The "grilling grid" is great for veggies like asparagus or sliced zucchini, but it does have some issues, and I would not buy this again.

The paint at first seems high quality, but some of it has already chipped off for me and has begun to rust. That could be a dealbreaker for some, but I admit to not taking the BEST care of the tray. I washed it after every cookout, but usually not until the next day, and I did leave it on the grill overnight once.

Also, the hinge mechanism is not designed very well. It sticks and can be frustrating to expand or collapse it.

Lastly, the tray only has 3 sides, while the fourth edge has no lip. Since I mostly use this to put veggies on the top tray of the grill (which has a lip on the back), it's not too big of an issue. But if you are using this on the main grill, be warned that you'll have a side of this tray that veggies can easily fall off of when you're turning them.

A decent tray for what it is and for the price, but when I replace it (and I will be, after only one season of use) I'll be buying a higher quality piece.
