My sister sent me this because I’ve mentioned not liking to wash dishes. Was disappointed as it mentioned a DW~which I don’t have. Washing dishes that can’t be put in the DW is one thing but having to wash ALL the dishes is another matter . . .

Although after many years as a loyal dishwasher user, I no longer use a dishwasher at all. However, when I did the serrated knives were the only ones allowed in the washer. It is true that your “good” knives, not only need sharpened more, but they don’t get dried right away. The finest microscopic nick, anywhere on the blade, will begin to oxidize and eventually rust beyond repair. Finally, and probably the MAIN reason for not putting my knives into the dishwasher is because when an early teen, my baby brother climbed onto the door of the opened dishwasher and while I ran to get my family to come see how “cute” it was, he managed to get the sharpest knife out of the very back basket and drop it onto his tiny little foot. 101 stitches later, I and all dishwashers are scarred for life!

I have a knife/cutting board set by Wolfgang Puck that was gifted to me. Honestly, I know that the knives should be washed by hand, but I normally just stick them in the dishwasher (I know, I know… it’s terrible. I’m so bad). My husband has a very expensive, high quality knife set that he had to purchase for his culinary classes. I don’t even touch those, as I’m too afraid of damaging them. Those knives get washed by hand, by him. I don’t go near them.

I use an emptied spice container (one with holes in the top for sprinkling) to put my baking soda in and keep it by the sink for quick access.
And
I add rice to my salt shakers to draw moisture away from the salt to keep it free flowing for those humid days in the kitchen.

The warranty on my knives is voided if I put them in the dishwasher. Plus my husband thinks that can dull the edges. For a long time the mfgrs didn’t specify that and I learned the hard way – damaged handle that retailer wouldn’t get repaired.

Wooden handled steak knives and metal handled steak knives (Henckel) are all washed by hand. Chef, serrated, and any other “specially” knives are all washed by hand as well. The only knives which go in the dishwasher are butter knives and small paring knives. We have had most of our hand washed knives for in excess of 20 years (they were wedding gifts!). Thank you for an interesting, informative and helpful blog!

To do dishes and save time I put in the sink the dirtiest dishes first while I am washing above them the items which are not dirty such as water glasses, bread trays or cutlery. The water and the soap will do half the job so they will be half clean when their turn comes.

Love your videos!
