Points Up Or Points Down? You’ve Been Doing It All Wrong!


Here is something that you never knew! There is a right way and a wrong way to stack your dishwasher basket for cutlery, and the likelihood is that you have been doing it all wrong.

Very many people stack the dishwasher basket for cutlery with the knife blades and fork prongs pointing upwards, but that is completely wrong. The simple fact is that loading the basket with the points and prongs upwards means that there is a very good chance of stabbing yourself in the finger or hand when you try to grab them to remove them.

All right, you would have trouble hurting yourself on a spoon, whichever way up it was, but grabbing a knife blade can cause a nasty injury, especially if it has a serrated edge as many cook knives do. The points of forks and the blades of kitchen scissors can also be damaging. It can cause problems in the home kitchen, but in commercial premises where time is of the essence and the knives and forks may be needed again shortly, it is all too easy to grab hold of them the wrong way.
