As soon as you see the dishes, one feels like “Let me go to the dishwasher…”. Especially when it comes to accumulated dishes… We don’t even see the need to think twice about putting everything in the dishwasher and running the machine; However, this behavior, which is done with laziness fueled by the feeling of fatigue, unfortunately brings with it some problems.
If you are one of those people who throw every dish in the machine and pass by, there is no doubt that you will put an end to this behavior after this article; because some kitchen utensils become unusable after being thrown into the machine and cost more to the home economy. Here are those items that are guaranteed to say goodbye to the kitchen after they go into the dishwasher!
1. Cutting/chopping board
Along with the cutting/chopping board, all other wooden items, contrary to popular belief, are among the items that should not be washed in the dishwasher. Since the heat of the dishwasher is heat that can damage the board; All wooden items (and any wooden items) that you place in the dishwasher run the risk of breaking, cracking or splintering. If you say that I do not wash or dry, you are wrong again. In drying mode, all wooden items in the machine literally turn into bacteria nests! We recommend that you keep these items away from your machine for the sake of both the future of your wooden items and the health of your household.
2. Thermos
Since the thermos is a daily use item, the first thing everyone does as soon as they get home is to throw their thermos in the dishwasher. As you know, no one has the patience to wash a thermos by hand every day, every day. The most important feature of the thermos is undoubtedly that it preserves the temperature of the beverage we fill it for a long time. The air-filled section between the inner and outer layers of the thermos, that is, the source of the feature that makes the thermos a thermos, is damaged in the dishwasher. You may not have noticed in a wash or two; However, we would like you to know that if you persist in the washing process in the machine, your thermos will be no different from an ordinary glass or bottle.
3. Plastic containers
Although most plastic containers are labeled as “dishwasher safe”, washing plastic containers in the dishwasher is actually a serious risk. The heat of the dishwasher is strong enough to melt the plastic. Therefore, when you open the door of your machine in which you wash plastic containers in one day, it is highly likely that you will see clumps of plastic that have melted and contaminated other dishes.
4. Teflon pan/pot
What is the most attractive feature of Teflon? Its non-stick surface prevents the food cooked in it from leaving residues. Would we prefer Teflon of anything without this feature? No. So, what do we do with Teflon pans and pots that will be negatively affected by the high heat of the dishwasher and dishwashing detergent and lose all their charm? We do not throw it in the dishwasher!
5. Professional knives
You should definitely not throw professional chef’s knives that you have enthusiastically bought and that have the power to make you say “I am the chef of my own kitchen!” into the dishwasher. The high-pressure water in the dishwasher has the power to dull the blades. No problem with everyday knives; but it’s never worth the risk when it comes to these special knives with material and moral value.
6. Cast iron skillet
As its name suggests, cast iron skillet. A substance that can rust when iron comes into contact with water. Putting it in pressurized water according to the eye can be said to be equivalent to throwing the entire pan into the trash. Be you, remind yourself frequently of the rusting feature of iron and keep your cast iron pans away from the dishwasher.
