4. Care and Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Dexter Hamburger Turner, hand washing is strongly recommended. Wash the blade and handle with warm water and a mild dish soap immediately after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the stainless steel or damage the wooden handle.

Important: Do not wash this product in a dishwasher. The high heat and harsh detergents in dishwashers can cause the wooden handle to crack, warp, or fade over time, and can also dull the stainless steel blade.

4.2 Drying and Storage

After washing, dry the turner completely with a soft, clean towel. Pay particular attention to drying the wooden handle to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to cracking or splitting. Store the turner in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity, to preserve the integrity of both the blade and the handle.

4.3 Longevity Tips

• Periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil to the wooden handle to keep it moisturized and prevent drying or cracking.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water or soaking the handle.
• Do not use the turner as a prying tool or for tasks beyond its intended use to prevent bending or damage to the blade.
