Is Vegetable Peeler dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Vegetable peelers are generally not recommended for the dishwasher, but some stainless steel models may be safe.
Why
Most vegetable peelers have sharp blades that can dull in the dishwasher due to high heat and harsh detergents. Additionally, plastic handles may warp or degrade over time. Stainless steel peelers without plastic parts are more durable but hand washing is still preferred to maintain sharpness.
How to wash it
Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the blade.
