Cleaning: Don’t put your kitchen knives in the dishwasher
Some kitchen knives are dishwasher safe – including SCANPAN’s. But you won’t get away from the fact that the dishwasher’s salts and other chemicals wear down both the steel of the blade and the sharp edge.
If you repeatedly wash your kitchen knives in the dishwasher, you’ll find that your knives become weaker – and need sharpening more often. Which just wears them down even more.
So wash your sharp knives by hand with hot water and detergent. Dry the knives thoroughly with a clean tea towel – that way you avoid stains on the blade and handle.

Avoid rust film on your knives
Brown rust stains on your beautiful kitchen knives are far from ideal. Rust film comes from kitchen utensils that contain iron (typical culprits are the cheese grater, garlic press and egg slicer or a damaged wire basket) and can stain knives and other stainless steel kitchen equipment if put in the dishwasher. Rust film can turn into ‘pitting corrosion’ if not removed from both the knives and dishwasher. Film rust on knives is easily removed with steel polish or steel cleaner.
By washing your kitchen knives by hand, you eliminate the risk of rust film forming on them.

Remember to sharpen regularly – keep the knife edge sharp
Sharpness is important, for both food and safety. A sharp kitchen knife cuts clean, straight slices of your roast – instead of fraying the meat and letting out all the juices.
