  • I use knives I have pilfered from various places I have worked at and they are around 10 - 40 years old, some are really good knives though. I have ever only used 2 pull through sharpeners and the current one is maybe 15 years old. I have also only washed my knives in a dishwasher as long as I have had access to one, so like 20 years, and there has been no noticeable difference.

    I also have a cast iron pan that’s at least 40 years old, I commonly wash it in the dishwasher and it’s indestructible. If it gets some rust on it I just scrape it off with steel wool and add a little oil. It works as well as it did 40 years ago. People are way too anal about kitchen tools.

    I’m pretty sure the idea that a dishwasher can ruin a knife or a cast iron pan is a myth that too many people have bought into.
