Is Cookie Cutters dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Cookie cutters are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve sharp edges and prevent rust.
Why
Most metal cookie cutters are stainless steel or tin-plated steel, which can withstand dishwasher heat, but the high heat and moisture may cause rust over time, especially on cut edges. Plastic cookie cutters may warp in high heat. Hand washing ensures longevity.
How to wash it
Wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. For stubborn dough, soak briefly before scrubbing.
