Drop sharp knives into your plastic cutlery basket in your dishwasher and you’ll soon develop holes in the bottom, especially with sharp steak knives. Here is a fix that makes it better than new with some stainless steel mesh. A video that should ‘comeinhandy’.
I got my stainless steel mesh from ebay UK, two 150mm x 150mm samples for £8.99 including postage:
EBay UK: ebay.us/ynhwFw
It is also on Amazon UK a bit cheaper at £5.99 for one sheet which is enough: amzn.to/4bXPwJD
And you may find something similar on Amazon for other countries:
Amazon: amzn.to/3A9yxqg
Using these links will not cost you any more than going there without using these, but it does earn me some few coins and saves you a bit of time.

For cutting, an angle grinder / disc cutter is easiest and a useful tool to have anyhow if you haven’t got one. They start from about £17 incl post:
Amazon UK: amzn.to/4cWdar9
other Amazon countries: amzn.to/4bWP0LO
