Is Fish Spatula dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Fish spatulas are generally dishwasher safe if made of stainless steel or nylon, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent damage.
Why
Stainless steel fish spatulas can withstand dishwasher heat, but the high heat and harsh detergents may dull the finish over time. Nylon or plastic spatulas may warp or melt in the dishwasher. Wooden or silicone handles may degrade.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately. If dishwasher safe, place on the top rack away from heating elements.
