Cleaning
— Knives prefer to be washed by
hand. The knife is unlikely to be
rendered useless if washed in a
dishwasher, but the edge can be
damaged, the blade may corrode
or the surface on the plastic handle
may become dull.
— Wash and dry the knife directly
after use. That prevents any risk
of bacteria spreading from, for
example, raw chicken to fresh
vegetables.
— To avoid unsightly marks on the
blade, dry the knife immediately
after it has been washed.
A sharp knife is safer to use than
a blunt one, so sharpen your knife
regularly. This knife has a blade
of stainless steel that is simple to
sharpen. Once a week is usually
advisable for ordinary household use.
Remember that the sharpener must
be made of a harder material than
the steel in the blade. For this reason
