Is Paring Knife dishwasher safe?
Not dishwasher safe
Paring knives are generally not dishwasher safe.
Why
The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers can dull the blade and damage the handle material, especially if it is wood or plastic. The knife may also knock against other items, causing nicks or edge damage.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately. Store in a knife block or on a magnetic strip to protect the edge.
