Q: Can I put my knives in the dishwasher?

 

A: Yes, you can put your kitchen cutlery into the dishwasher, but be aware that doing so may lessen its sharpness and life. Rather, you should clean your stainless steel knives in warm water and dish soap, and you should clean your carbon steel knives in warm water and baking soda. Also, be sure to store your best knives in a wooden block – to keep them from damaging each other – rather than in your silverware drawer.
