Maintaining your ZYLISS E910029U Sharp Edge Pizza Cutter's sharpness and hygiene is straightforward. Here's how to clean it effectively: 1. Hand Washing: Immediately after use, wash the pizza cutter with warm, soapy water. This helps remove food particles and preserves blade sharpness. 2. Blade Cleaning: Use a brush or sponge to carefully clean the blade, handle, and all crevices. Pay close attention to the blade's edge where food can accumulate. Exercise caution to avoid cuts. 3. Dishwasher Safe: The ZYLISS E910029U pizza cutter is dishwasher safe, offering convenient cleaning. Place it in the utensil compartment or flatware basket. However, hand washing is recommended to potentially extend the blade's sharpness. 4. Drying: After cleaning, completely dry the pizza cutter with a clean cloth or paper towel. Ensure no moisture remains on the blade or handle to prevent rust or corrosion. 5. Blade Maintenance: Regularly check the blade's sharpness. If dull, consider sharpening it with a suitable knife sharpener or honing tool. A sharp blade ensures efficient slicing and reduces accident risks. Always handle the pizza cutter with care, especially when cleaning the sharp blade.
