Can you put non-stick coated knives in the dishwasher?
The maker says these knives are dishwasher safe, but you should handle them with care to keep the coating intact.
Short answer
Yes, the maker says these knives are dishwasher safe for quick cleanup. However, hand washing and immediate drying are generally recommended to prolong the life of any kitchen knife, even those labeled dishwasher safe.
Why drying matters
While the protective black coating resists stains and rust, moisture is the enemy of any steel blade. If you do use the dishwasher, dry the knives thoroughly before sliding them back into the universal block to prevent oxidation.
Checklist for knife care
- Dry blades immediately after washing to prevent rust.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the non-stick coating.
- Store knives in the universal block only when completely dry.
- Sharpen blades regularly to maintain the cutting edge.
