A bit about Chinese boxwood
Chinese boxwood, also known as huangyangmu, is a wood species prized for its fine texture and uniform color. Here are some facts and information about Chinese boxwood:
Botanical name:
Chinese boxwood belongs to the Buxaceae family, and its scientific name is Buxus sinica (also referred to as Buxus microphylla var. sinica). It is an evergreen shrub or small tree.
Origin:
Chinese boxwood is native to East Asia, primarily found in China, Japan, and Korea. In China, it grows in regions such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan.
Appearance:
Chinese boxwood is known for its fine, even texture and smooth, lustrous surface. Its color ranges from a pale yellow to a warm golden hue, often with a subtle, uniform grain. Unlike bold-patterned woods, boxwood has a refined and consistent appearance, making it ideal for detailed carving and precision work.
Hardness and durability:
Chinese boxwood is a very hard and dense wood with excellent durability. It has good resistance to wear and tear, making it suitable for fine craftsmanship and long-lasting applications.
Uses:
Chinese boxwood is highly valued in fine woodworking, particularly for carving, engraving, musical instruments (such as woodwind components), chess pieces, seals, and intricate furniture inlays. It is also used in traditional Chinese woodblock printing.
Processing:
While Chinese boxwood is hard, it is easier to work with than many tropical hardwoods. It cuts cleanly with sharp tools and holds fine details well, making it a favorite for precision carving. However, its density requires proper tool maintenance to avoid chipping.
Sustainability:
Chinese boxwood grows slowly, and overharvesting has threatened wild populations in some regions. Sustainable cultivation and responsible sourcing are crucial to protect this species.
Can you put steak knives in the dishwasher?
The dishwasher is a time-saving and convenient solution for cleaning our plates, cutlery, and kitchen utensils. However, when it comes to cutlery, especially steak knives, there are often questions about whether it is safe and recommended to put them in the dishwasher. In this blog post, we will examine this question and provide you with some guidelines for proper care of your steak knives.
Cutlery in the dishwasher:
The dishwasher is an efficient machine that uses hot water and soap to remove food residues and bacteria from your plates and cutlery. However, not all cutlery is suitable for dishwasher treatment. When it comes to steak knives, you should be cautious and follow certain guidelines to preserve their sharpness and lifespan.
Sharpness and lifespan:
Steak knives typically have sharp blades that are necessary for cutting through meat. However, these sharp blades can be damaged or dulled if subjected to rough treatment in the dishwasher. The knife’s edge can become blunt by colliding with other utensils or plates during the wash cycle. Additionally, the chemical detergents and heat in the dishwasher can also affect the knife’s sharpness over time.
Rust and corrosion:
Usually, manufacturers make steak knives from stainless steel, a material resistant to rust and corrosion. However, the dishwasher’s environment, especially when there are food residues left on the knives, can accelerate the corrosion process. Contact between different metals, such as steel and aluminum, in the dishwasher can also cause corrosion and damage to the knife’s surface.
Recommendations for caring for steak knives:
-
Handwashing:
It is generally recommended to handwash your steak knives to preserve their sharpness and lifespan. Wash them gently in warm soapy water and dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth or towel.
-
Avoid strong cleaning agents:
Do not use aggressive chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges to clean your steak knives. These agents can scratch and damage the knife’s surface.
-
Storage:
Store your steak knives separately from other utensils to avoid contact that may damage the knife’s sharpness. Consider using a knife block or knife magnet to keep them secure and separated.
-
Dry after use:
After using your steak knives, always dry them thoroughly to remove any food residues or moisture that may cause corrosion.
While the dishwasher is convenient for cleaning cutlery, it is best to avoid putting steak knives in the machine. To preserve their sharpness and lifespan, it is recommended to handwash them gently and dry them after use. By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your steak knives remain in good condition and ready for use when you serve a delicious steak.
Always remember to consult the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions regarding washing specific types of cutlery, including steak knives, as materials and construction may vary.
