Yeah, I know that. I've got some older pans and some newer ones.
The newer ones have never been in the dishwasher, and they're still
oxidizing, albeit much more slowly than the ones that have gone
in the dishwasher.

Why does it matter? They all work the same. Then again, I don't
bake (much); they're more likely to be used for roasting vegetables
or ferrying ziplocs full of spaghetti sauce down to the basement
fridge for freezing.
