Why it’s bad: Wood is porous and absorbs water. The high heat and prolonged moisture in a dishwasher cause wood to swell, warp, and crack.
The damage: Warped utensils that won’t lie flat. Cracked cutting boards that harbor bacteria. Dry, splintered surfaces.
What to do instead: Wash wooden items by hand with warm, soapy water. Rinse immediately. Dry with a towel and allow to air dry completely before storing.
Pro tip: Periodically rub wooden items with mineral oil or food-grade wax to prevent drying and cracking.
