Does the writing on the surface wash off either by hand or in the dishwasher, i.e. is it dishwasher sturdy?

Washes off very easily, I had one from culinary school and I also bought one from Amazon and they both were the same, washed off right away, even with wet hands rubbing it hard....

Is this food-safe enough to immerse in sauces? I'm looking for a ruler I can dip into sauces to see how much they have reduced.

Take a piece of spaghetti and dip it into your liquid. Break it off where the wet ends and mark it at the measurement of where you want to reduce (by half, third, quarter, etc.) Throw away when it's done!

what is it made out of, metal, plastic or cardboard?

Metal and it is very durable. It helps in school at Le Cordon bleu...

What are the dimensions? Amazon's description indicates it is 15" x 5" but the photo clearly shows the length as being 12"

The Mercer Culinary Ruler is definitely 12 x 5 inches. I just measured mine.
