Today’s TIP:

Can You Wash Kitchen Knives In A Dishwasher?
Our experts overwhelmingly agreed that kitchen knives should never see the inside of a dishwasher.
“The heat, moisture, and harsh detergents damage handles and degrade metal over time. Blades can [also] hit other items during the cycle, causing chips and dulling of the blades,” says Geoff Rudaw, chef of the Conrad New York Downtown.
Veronica Eicken, a private chef, points out that “the high heat can weaken the bond between the handle and the blade, potentially causing the handle to warp or even split. For carbon steel knives, extreme temperatures can compromise the hardened steel, making it more susceptible to damage and a dull blade.”
Eicken also warns against dishwashers because the trapped moisture makes them “an ideal environment for rust, especially if the knife sits for an extended period of time.”
Have a great day and be safe!
