How to Properly Store Kitchen Knives

It is better to store any kitchen knives separately - you should not throw them in the same pile with spoons and forks.

Decide for yourself what to store it in.

You can leave the devices in a drawer with a special compartment or in covers, hang them on a hanging magnetic holder or place them in a table stand.

As for storage conditions, premium knives also need to have special ones.

Professional chefs advise storing them separately from other cutlery, in a special compartment of a kitchen organizer or a small drawer.

Why do kitchen knives rust?

Because iron and oxygen have opposite charges, they are attracted to each other like magnets.

This interaction is called oxidation.

The chemical reaction produces iron oxide, a rusty coating that can be seen on the blade.
