No, these should be hand-washed only. Because they are made from natural wood and finished with beeswax, the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher will strip the finish and eventually cause the wood to warp or crack.

The pure beeswax acts as a natural, food-safe sealant. It protects the plum tree wood from absorbing moisture and food stains while maintaining a smooth, comfortable feel in your hand.

These chopsticks measure 9 inches in length, which is a standard, comfortable size for most adult hands and everyday dining.

While the beeswax finish is durable, you can occasionally rub them with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax wood conditioner if the wood starts to look dry or dull after extensive use.
