How to clean your vegetable knives

It is important to check the suppliers cleaning instructions before washing your vegetable knife, to make sure that you are cleaning it in the correct way.

Some vegetable knives, such as those with wooden handles, cannot be placed in the dishwasher and need to be washed by hand.

It is recommended to rinse off your vegetable knife directly after use to avoid the food from drying and sticking to the blade. This will make it easier to wash later.

Storing your vegetable knives

To keep your vegetable knives in good condition, it is best to store them in a professional knife block or magnetic knife strip. It is recommended not to store them loose in your kitchen drawer as this can damage the blade of your vegetable knife.
