Similar to my M.O. I wash everything in the dishwasher except sharp
knives. They are handwashed in the hottest water my hands can tolerate
with a soapy paper towel. Then I use the paper towel to wipe out the
sink and discard it.

Why don't you waash sharp knives in the dishwasher?


Any high quality, real kitchen knife that I've seen, they advise not putting
it in the dishwasher. I would think the reason is the dishwasher is somewhat
abrasive, so the handles will be affected and it will dull them faster than
if they are hand washed.
