THE DISHWASHER: ENEMY No. 1 OF YOUR KITCHEN KNIVES???

Most of the SABATIER Diamant kitchen knives are designed to “withstand” your dishwasher.
The word “withstand” speaks volumes about the relationship between your dishwasher and your kitchen knives.

Acid food remnants, chemicals and abrasives contained in powders, electrolytic oxidation due to the various metals present in the same wash, prolonged high temperature for the “very dirty” programmes and drying cycle, all attack your kitchen knives.

Systematic use of a dishwasher inevitably spoils your knives, in the same way as it affects your glass or chinaware.

If you care for your knives, spare them this nasty treatment as often as possible.

A quick dip in hot water with some washing-up liquid, a rinse in clear water, followed by careful drying will help you to protect your SABATIER Diamant articles properly, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Storage

Avoid the tip or cutting edge of your knife coming into contact with your other kitchen utensils.
To do that, it is better to use a knife block, a magnetized bar, a case or an individual compartment in your kitchen drawers.
