The dishwasher saves valuable time and thus makes everyday life easier. But be careful, not everything can be washed this way. Some materials do not support this treatment. Here are the 5 things you will have to wash by hand.
WOODEN UTENSILS
All wooden utensils are not dishwasher safe. Moisture can actually deteriorate them and change their shape. This is especially the case for cutting boards. They will swell with water during the wash. Same recommendation for spatulas even if it is very tempting to do so.
CAST IRON DISHES
Some major brands specify that their cast iron dishes are dishwasher safe. But to ensure a longer life, it is better to clean them by hand. The risk is to cause the appearance of rust. In addition, micro-cracks will deepen more quickly.
NON-STICK PANS
Non-stick pans can cook food without oil thanks to a special coating. To reduce its effectiveness, the best way is to put them regularly in the dishwasher. Admittedly, doing it by hand (using a brush and not a scraper) is more restrictive. But the life of the stoves will be extended.
CRYSTAL GLASSES
Pure as crystal. For this adage to apply for a long time, it is important not to use the dishwasher for your glasses. Their luster may fade over time. We will therefore wash them by hand before wiping them with a dry cloth.
BABY BOTTLES
It may be tempting but no, the bottle is not dishwasher safe. The pacifier part may suffer from prolonged washing at high temperatures. In addition, the glass or plastic part is too deep for effective washing. Finally, it would be necessary to choose the program at 65°C, but today dishwashers run with eco programs at a lower temperature.
