Is Herb Scissors dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Herb scissors are generally not recommended for the dishwasher, but some stainless steel models may be labeled dishwasher safe.
Why
Most herb scissors have multiple blades that can trap food and are difficult to clean thoroughly in a dishwasher. The high heat and harsh detergents can also dull the blades over time, especially if they are not high-quality stainless steel.
How to wash it
Hand wash with warm soapy water and a brush to clean between blades, then rinse and dry immediately. Avoid soaking to prevent rust.
