Which way should cutlery be placed in the cutlery basket in a dishwasher?
Which way should cutlery be placed in the cutlery basket in a dishwasher so that it cleans best? Handle Up with blade/fork/spoon pointing Down or Handle Down with Blade/Fork/Spoon pointing Up.

I would stick them in with the handle at the bottom but I would not think it makes much difference.

I think that the best way is handle down with blade/fork/spoon pointing up.

I used to placing my cuttlery in that way and they’re always clean

I would say handle down so the water and soap can hit it and get it cleaner. Exception–Sharp knives should be point in the basket and handle up for safety reasons.

I put knives and forks handles up, spoons handle down. Anything that can accidentally stab you should go handle up. Spoons I put handle down so I can make sure the "bowls" of the spoons don’t end up stacked against each other and not get clean.

I alternate mine, so that they don’t all stick together. Sharp knifes should always point down.=)

FORKS always points UP and everything else DOWN.

My owner’s manual said this.

Make sure that some are looking up and some are looking down to avoid having them sticking to each other.

Assuming that these are rinsed off first, I always put them all in handle up.

Teaspoons handles up. All the rest, handles down. If you drop sharp knives into the basket, extra holes will start to appear and you will need a new basket soon.

i put them in with the handle down i find that the fork prongs and pointed knives get stuck in the holes in the bottom, but that is just my choice.

Dont know which is the best way for cleaning, but best way for safety would be with blades/points down. I read a newspaper article a couple of years ago about a child who had fallen and cut themselves badly on a knife sticking up in the open dishwasher
