- Knife blades should not be washed with too hot water as the metal does not tolerate contact with boiling water. If you are washing the utensils in the dishwasher, it is recommended that you choose water that is not too hot.
- You should not soak the knives as prolonged contact with water will lead to metal destruction.
- Experts say that for this reason, the tool should be wiped immediately after washing!
