Which wooden utensils should I buy?

Wooden Utensils

When purchasing wooden cooking utensils it's not necessary to buy the most expensive, but it is best to avoid the cheapest. Unfortunately these items -- such as wooden spoons and spatulas -- are often made of soft woods that will splinter and deteriorate rapidly. Look for hardwood utensils. These will last for years, especially with proper care and maintenance.

I was hoping to find the answer to the "proper care and maintenance" of wooden utensils. Can they go in the diswasher?
