Is Wooden Spoon dishwasher safe?
Not dishwasher safe✓ Verified
No — the dishwasher's heat and moisture crack, warp, and split wooden spoons.
Why
Wood absorbs water and then dries unevenly under a dishwasher's heat, which raises the grain, causes cracks, and can eventually split the spoon. The cracks also harbor bacteria.
How to wash it
Hand wash quickly in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry flat or standing up. Occasionally rub in food-grade mineral oil to keep the wood from drying out.
