Can knives with wooden handles be washed in the dishwasher? ⇐ General questions about dishwashers

[Sergey]

We recently purchased a dishwasher, but our happiness was spoiled by our mother-in-law, who one day saw that we were washing knives with wooden handles in it. Says you can’t do this? Why?

[LEO]

Typically, such knives have aluminum rivets, which, under the influence of the powder, become thinner and cease to perform their functions, and the knife falls apart. I had one knife go bad, but the process took three years.

[Thistle]

I’ve been washing my knives like this for two years now and I don’t see any signs of deformation. The wooden spatula died quietly after 3-4 washes and was thrown away)

In general, I wash all the dishes in the dishwasher; I haven’t found any signs of damage in four years, with the exception of glued things, for example, the rubber frame of the grater has come unstuck.

[Thebes Prolje]

My machine manual says that you cannot wash knives with wooden handles. I listen to the manufacturer’s recommendations
And even without a recommendation, if you think about it: is it useful to subject wood to 3-hour high-temperature water procedures?

[pigeon]

Logical. To be honest, I didn’t even think about it, but I’ve never washed it)).

[And ZZy]

the wood is drying out, but this is a long, multi-year process, we have been washing it for about 5 years now and don’t worry about it until all the knives are intact

Depends on the quality of the knives. One immediately swelled and died, the second pleases with its sharpness and endurance
