No, this piece must be hand-washed. The dishwasher's high heat and harsh detergents will dry out and eventually crack the natural hardwood handle, ruining the finish.

To keep the wood looking its best, we recommend occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner. This prevents the wood from drying out and maintains the natural luster of the grain.

This tool is designed specifically for spreading soft cheeses, jams, and spreads. It is not intended for slicing hard cheeses or cutting through dense foods, as the blade is shaped for scooping and smoothing rather than cutting.
