Know before you buy
Yes, this muddler is dishwasher safe. Its construction of wood and high-temperature nylon allows it to withstand standard dishwasher cycles for easy cleanup.
The 12-inch length provides extra leverage, making it easier to reach the bottom of tall mixing glasses or shakers without getting your knuckles caught on the rim.
The wide, flat base is designed to maximize surface area contact. This allows you to press down firmly on fruits and herbs to extract oils and juices more efficiently than a pointed or textured base.
The muddler features a tapered handle designed for a secure grip. While wood can become slick, the tapered shape helps you maintain control and apply consistent pressure while muddling.
The head is made of high-temperature nylon, which is generally gentler than metal muddlers. However, you should still exercise caution when muddling in thin or fragile glassware to avoid cracking the glass.
