No, we recommend washing the knives by hand and drying them with a cloth instead of putting them in the dishwasher. Although the damage is often not immediately visible, dishwashers will dull the knives over time. Dishwasher detergents can affect the blades and contain salts that contribute to corrosion and wear.
How can I prevent my knife from becoming dull?
To keep your knives sharp, we recommend regularly maintaining them with a honing steel. Preferably use a wooden cutting board and avoid cutting hard or frozen foods. Store your knives safely in a knife block or on a magnetic knife strip.
How often should I sharpen my knives?
How often you need to sharpen a knife depends on how frequently you use it. For everyday use, we recommend regularly maintaining your knife with a honing steel and sharpening it professionally or with a whetstone a few times a year. This will keep your knife performing at its best.
What is the best way to store my knives?
We recommend storing your knives in a knife block, on a magnetic knife strip or with a blade guard. This helps prevent damage to the blade and keeps your knives sharp for longer.
What is the best way to wash my kitchen textiles?
GRUUN kitchen textiles can be machine washed, preferably at a low temperature (maximum 40°C) and with similar colours to extend their lifespan. Wash the kitchen textiles separately at first. Slight colour variations are normal due to the use of recycled cotton without added dyes. We recommend avoiding fabric softener, as this is better for the environment and improves the absorbency of the textiles.
What is the best way to clean my pan?
Although GRUUN pans are dishwasher safe, we recommend washing them by hand. Use warm water, a soft sponge and a mild dishwashing liquid. This helps keep the ceramic non-stick coating in good condition and extends the lifespan of your pan.
Which kitchen utensils can I use in my pan?
To protect the ceramic non-stick coating, we recommend using wooden, silicone or plastic kitchen utensils. Metal spatulas or spoons can damage the coating and shorten the lifespan of your pan.
How do I remove stubborn burnt-on food?
First, soak the pan in warm water with a little dishwashing liquid. Then remove the residue with a soft sponge. Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges or abrasive cleaning products, as these may damage the ceramic non-stick coating.
Why does my tea towel wrinkle after washing?
Our tea towels are made from recycled cotton without artificial additives or chemical treatments. Many brands use so-called easy-care finishes or anti-wrinkle coatings to keep textiles looking smoother. These treatments involve chemicals and are harmful to the environment. At GRUUN, we consciously choose not to use them. Wrinkles after the first few washes are therefore completely normal: they show that your tea towel is pure, natural and sustainable. The fabric will become softer and more comfortable to use over time. Extra tip: do not use fabric softener. It may make the towel feel softer, but it also reduces its ability to absorb moisture. Giving the towel a good shake after washing and hanging it neatly to dry works much better.
