2.We are no sure what chemicals are in detergent, but they could react with the steel to cause it to pit out or become discolored.

• Clean and dry it right away.

1.To clean knife, most of our experts recommend soap and hot water — and that’s it. Or even just hot water. “Hot water — just tap water — not boiling water.”
