Care
- Washing: Handwash recommended. Rinse to remove food traces as soon as possible after use, then wash in warm soapy water with a microfibre cloth or non-abrasive brush. Avoid soaking, and always dry thoroughly immediately after washing with a microfibre cloth. Avoid scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the surface.
- Chopping boards: Use wood or soft plastic boards to keep the blade sharp for longest. Avoid glass, stone, metal or very hard bamboo, which can dull or damage the edge.
- Handle care: Periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to the handle to maintain its colour, wiping off any excess.
