🍽️ The 8 Things That Must Be Hand-Washed
(Note: Since we are starting fresh, let’s make sure we cover all 8 of the most important items, starting with the most common culprit!)
Sharp Kitchen Knives
Your favorite chef’s knife is an extension of your hand, and the dishwasher is its worst enemy. The high heat can warp the handles (especially if they are made of wood or bone), and the harsh detergents can dull the blade. Worse, the violent water jets cause the knives to bang against other dishes, chipping your plates and ruining the knife’s edge.
How to care for them: Hand wash immediately after use with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Dry them instantly with a towel to prevent water spots and rust. Store them safely in a knife block or on a magnetic strip.
