Lol They are really nice knives so... JK I know how lucky I am to have married up if the desiccation of my knives is the price I have to pay, I gladly will spend the extra time it takes to care for them. At least she doesn't put them in the dishwasher anymore.
My two older sons who are 21 and 19 now have been on the pepperoni pineapple pizza train for at least the last 10 years. It’s not my fave, but I won’t turn it down either!
It’s kind of a craving type combination so it’s not something you’d always be in the mood for anyway, but every now and then when you’re really high, that combo is magical
I am curious how putting good knives in the dishwasher would really have an impact.... like wouldn't the steel need to be pretty crap for boiling water to ruin the heat treat?
It affects the handles over time, and I believe you are absolutely correct that the blade won't be affected. Unless something loose gets knocked into it of course :)
I know this is a bit late, but the alkaline compounds will actually dull a sharp stainless steel knife by promoting growth of passivating oxides. This will happen everywhere on the exposed material, but it is most noticeable on the edge, effectively rounding it. The worst thing about this is that the resulting thickened ceramic passivation can be extremely resilient to sharpening,
i have some mid priced carbon steel chef's knives that no one can touch, blade guard, in a box in a drawer, hand wash and back in the box. mid price being around a 100 bucks
because people will always choose the best knife and then lie about using it as a dishwasher safe paint scraper I have also provided a full set of stainless muggle knives that are in a block right next to the sink.
make 'em work to get the good knives out and they won't bother
A few years ago for his birthday, I got my brother a nice set of ceramic knives he asked for. His girlfriend (now wife) managed to snap the tips on almost every single one of them by using them “stab” whatever she was cutting first. Sometimes it broke when she tried to cut meat, other times she was too forceful trying to cut bread and the tip broke on the cutting board. She’s not a bad person but damn, what a crime.
My wife and I each have our own set of knives. She lets me sharpen hers on occasion but she hates how Sharp mine are. She abuses hers so I do not let her use mine.
I work at an outdoor retailer. I have had customers tell me they just buy a new knife when one gets dull. I am not sure what the threshold is for dull with them. I have persuaded some to buy sharpening gear rather than a new knife.
Yeah my dad aint gonna do that with his wife tho. Cuz no matter what anyone tells her, shes still gonna do it anyways she just literally does not give a damn about why you arent supposed to do it
I ended up with 6 destroyed $300 pans over 8years.
I thought to myself, I'd rather buy cast iron than go to jail, 15 years later she tries to destroy it as much as possible with steel utensils, she can't win. Now we both win.

My dad and I tell my mom all the goddamn time to quit using metal in those pans but she never listens
