## 2. Wooden Spoons and Utensils
The same rule applies to wooden spoons, spatulas, and handles.
Repeated dishwasher cycles may cause them to:
* become rough
* split
* fade
* absorb water
* loosen at glued areas
Hand washing usually helps them last much longer.
## 3. Cast-Iron Cookware
A cast-iron skillet should not normally go in the dishwasher.
The detergent and prolonged moisture can strip away the protective seasoning and encourage rust.

* wash gently by hand
* dry immediately
* apply a very thin layer of cooking oil if needed
Proper care helps maintain the naturally seasoned cooking surface.
