First of all, it should be remembered that immediately after you used the cook tool, it must be washed. Do not leave food residues or even traces of food on the surface of the instrument.

The knife washing procedure must be carried out quite carefully, but at the same time very delicately. Do not use too aggressive detergents or cleaners. It is better in this sense to give preference to milder options.

If you notice that the dirt on the knife is quite intense, then in no case do not seek the help of bleaches, chlorine-based products, or abrasive products - all of them can cause irreparable harm to the knife and its structure will be damaged. Due to inaccurate cleaning of the knife, it can lose all its cutting properties.

If possible, wash the knives by hand and do not use a dishwasher. If it still happened that you can’t do without the help of household appliances, then make sure that the knives inside the dishwasher are placed with their blades up. In addition, the knives should be placed in a separate container when washing in the dishwasher.

Do not soak the knives and make sure that they are not in the aquatic environment for a long time. Prolonged contact with water can have a bad effect on the metal of which the blade is made. After you wash the knife, it must be thoroughly wiped with a soft cloth.

Do not forget that knives are those kitchen tools that need periodic sharpening. Remember that using a blunt knife is contraindicated. This is dangerous not only for you, but can also harm the instrument itself.

Arcos knife manufacturers do not recommend the use of conventional whetstones for sharpening knives. Devices that are made of special honed steel should be preferred. In addition, in the process of sharpening, you should follow a few simple rules:

• secure your hands and fingers;
• put the knife blade at an angle of sharpening of 20 degrees in relation to the grinding surface;
• sharpen the knife on both sides, with the same intensity and the same number of passes.
