of a dishwasher are much more aggressive than careful hand washing.
- Sharp Knives and Wooden Utensils
Let’s start with something surprising. I recently saw a photo of chef Ina Garten on Instagram, and guess what? Her knives were in the dishwasher! You might be thinking, “What’s so special about that?”
In reality, the high water pressure forces knives against other items in the basket, causing the blade to dull incredibly quickly. Additionally, the intense heat and harsh detergents can cause wooden handles to crack, warp, or peel away from the blade. Finally, reaching blindly into a dishwasher full of hidden, sharp knives is a real safety risk.
