Taking care of your favourite Opinel knives is essential if you want to keep them for as long as possible. So we have prepared a list of knives you can use and wash in the dishwasher every day without damaging them.
Further information: It is best to wash your knife and cutlery by hand under running hot water and dry them immediately. However, most knives and cutlery, especially those with polymer handles, are dishwasher safe.
However, it is important to observe the following guidelines:
- Do not put the knives in the same compartment as the other cutlery to prevent the blades from colliding with other elements
- Avoid long washing cycles and temperatures above 50°C
- Do not leave knives and cutlery in the dishwasher for several hours after a wash cycle
- It is possible that stains or spots of rust appear on your blades, wipe them with a sponge and wipe your knives before storing them.
