Is ChefsChoice cutlery dishwasher safe?
EdgeCraft recommends that Chef’sChoice knives be washed by hand in hot soapy water separately from other utensils and flatware. Dry each knife carefully and completely to avoid water spots and then return it to a safe storage place. Always dry blades from the handle toward the tip to minimize the possibility of injury. Quality stainless knives should not routinely be washed in the dishwasher. First, there’s substantial opportunity for personal injury, especially when reaching in to remove knives at the end of the cleaning cycle. In addition, blades can be stained by deposits of minerals, foods, or iron, or by direct contact with silverware. Always place silver and silver plated flatware on a separate rack from stainless cutlery. The handles of Chef’sChoice knives are dishwasher proof, but shouldn’t be placed on the lower rack near the heating coil.
