Use and Care Your Zwilling Henckels professional chef's knife is dishwasher-safe but hand washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Pro "S" knife may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blade. Also, high heat and detergent are not good for the handle. Wipe the blade of the professional chef's knife clean with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Rinse and dry immediately. Dry from the back of the knife to the tip. With proper care, your Pro "S" knife will last a lifetime. No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blade after use. If blade should show some signs of staining, clean with a non-abrasive metal polish. Do not cut through bone with the professional chef's knife or use the cutlery on semi-frozen or frozen. To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store your professional chef's knife in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray. Use the knife sharpener periodically to maintain a sharp edge on your Pro "S" knife. Always clean the exterior of the knife sharpener after every use. Wipe with a damp cloth or mild brush and wipe dry. Do not use detergents or abrasive cleaners. Do not rinse with water.
