Question

Hello, Immersion of utensils: Does a plastic peeler with an iron blade need to be fully immersed? Also, if a sticker remains on the plastic after immersion, does it constitute a barrier for the blade? Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello, 

It is required to immerse, as its main part is iron.

The plastic attached to the iron must also be immersed, and there should be no barrier on the plastic.

A sticker that is usually left does not constitute a barrier. 

A sticker that is usually removed does constitute a barrier. 

If the barrier was not removed, it must be immersed again.
