I found out yesterday that you're meant to wash a bread knife. I was under the impression that because it's only use is cutting bread, you can blow or wipe the crumbs off and put it back in its holder. I've done that with ours for the last 20 years and nobody's got ill.

@fesshole I don't tend to wash mine after every single use; but if I'm (for example) cutting a slightly softer bread, like a brioche, then that constitutes a wash.

I definitely wouldn't leave it 20 years between washes, though. That's a bit grim.

@lunarloony

Right. You don't wash the breadboard every time you cut off a slice of bread, so there seems no point in washing the knife every time, either. We wash our bread knives and breadboards after every loaf.

@fesshole I'd say eating that bread without washing your hands first is worse, so you're fine.

@fesshole yea it’s probably fine, so long you’re just cutting bread. Technically you’re cleaning it with the next bread you cut.

I usually just clean when I’m done with a loaf of bread or batch of bagels or whatever.

@fesshole I don't wash ours unless it's actually dirty (because I've been cutting raisin bread or pizza). If it's only crumbs from ordinary bread, I just give it a wipe.

@fesshole

Basic kitchen hygiene I quickly learnt while living in a student dorm with a common kitchen:

• never ever use an unwashed bread knife,

• never ever use an unwashed cheese slicer.

Unless you want your food to go moldy in no time, that is.

@fesshole I do this. My other half washes them even after just one slice.

@fesshole "Nobody's Got Ill" is a good contender for a Fesshole anthem. What is it with you guys and basic hygiene? Would you eat twenty-year-old bread crumbs?
