I've read that lemony dishwashing detergent is acidic and will pit the
silverware, but I doubt it will do anything to stoneware glaze.
Either way, I don't use lemony stuff, and i can't find my dowsing rod.

I do use these in the microwave, but the bottom of the plates and
bowls all say "dishwasher & microwave safe", so go figure?
