Dear Queenie,
When you put forks, knives and spoons in the dishwasher which end should go up – the handle or the other end?—Dishwashing Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
I think it is best to put such utensils in handle-up. Most people would prefer that when you take them out after they are washed you do not touch the part that is going to go in their mouth.
