CM SCRUBBERKnapp Made CM Scrubber 6" Small Ring Cast Iron Scrubber - Cast Iron Cleaner for Hard Anodized Cookware, Pre-Seasoned Pans, Dutch Ovens, Iron Pans, Grills and Skillet. Chain Mail Scrubber Cast Iron

Alright, $20 for a scrubber is spendy but every review I read said this was a MUST for cast iron and I'm here to shout from the rooftops that I agree. I recently made the switch from toxic Teflon to cast iron and I am LOVING how my food tastes but I must admit I was wary of cast iron cleanup (no soap, no dishwasher). I'm concerned with getting the pans truly clean so I don't somehow make my 5 year-old sick and a germy sponge on something that won't be run through the dishwasher sounded like a bad idea. This scrubber arrived a week after I switched to my cast iron pans and it made things MUCH easier. I've been using the Lodge Double Play grill/griddle like a cookie sheet for baking. I've baked on cheese, sticky sugar - you name it - and this chain mail scrubber busted it off in an easy pass or two. Tonight I made a roux (read: flour-based glue) in my Lodge 10 inch skillet...and then left it on the stove where it dried out until I got to it two hours later (see: 5 year-old). This scrubber whisked it away under hot water as if it was butter. Chain Mail scrub time per pan: less than 1 minute. Chain Mail scrub time for the worst pan mess I've managed to create: about 1 full minute. Bonus that my son and husband think its cool and do the cast iron scrubbing for me. Did you read that? THIS CHAIN MAIL SCRUBBER TRIGGERS SOMETHING IN THE MALE GENOME, CAUSING THEM TO DO THE DISHES! That is worth $20 alone right?!!Rest assured that it cleans very, very well. Now let me tell you why else I love it and why I bought one for my "doomsday prepper" mom. The thing is INDESTRUCTIBLE and will last for years and years before it comes close to needing to be replaced. (She hadn't yet thought of stockpiling plastic dish scrubbers and now she doesn't have to. This thing will easily last longer than a dozen packs of sponges.) Another bonus I thought of today while chopping onions - it's stainless steel and can do the same thing those stainless steel bars of soap do: remove tough odors when you rub it over your hands. (Just make sure you keep the chain mail clean or you'll smell like onions AND bacon grease!) Another reviewer said to leave it in the sink while you wash other dishes, which is a good suggestion. Also, soap won't hurt this. Just rinse well before it touches your cast iron again.Need more reasons to buy it?* Its environmentally friendly and makes a great gift for your Eco friends/neighbors/in-laws.* You can easily pack it for camping. It will scrub just as well in brownish green lake water!* There is NO WAY it can melt in your dishwasher.* It brings that extra touch of Medieval-chic to your kitchen.* If you hate it (honestly, sister?) downgrade it to a more humiliating use, such a coaster. Some man will eventually find it and start doing your dishes!

If you have a cast iron skillet, get one of these chain mail things. You can decide what size is good for you, but the place to start is to get one. I now use it to clean my cast iron skillet 100% of the time I use it regardless of the mess. But when there is stuff really stuck on, this chain mail scrubber is the go to tool. It melts stuff off without removing your seasoning. I also use it on other items like Pyrex dishes, stainless steal pots and pans, and plastic. It is actually very gentle. It cleans very well but is gentle on your items. Which is counterintuitive. Scouring pads do a lot more damage to your cookware. This is also way more sanitary and easy to clean off after use. No sponge smell and moisture retention. I like the small size because it is every bit as functional, but easier to store in a small space.

The chainmail scrubber works great on cast iron and is easy to clean. Great value.

Great for staples steel pots. Only for the inside though.

Does a great job cleaning cast iron. Doesn't damage the patina.

Works wonders on my cast iron pan. There isn’t anything that this little scrubber CAN’T get off of the pan! Just put a little water in the pan and scrub! Viola!!

Best way to clean cast iron pans that I have found. Removes stuck on food without damaging the pan.

Amazing how good this works on all my cast iron. Cleans them so easily.

Wife loves them. I ordered a second for the cottage. Not cheap. Quality you can see & feel.

I use it first to scrub down of my cast iron pans that I have hard-cooked, burnt-on crusts. I then use a standard Chore Girl wire scrubber to get the final clean done. I NEVER USE SOAP with my cast iron. This tool saves a lot of time and effort in cleaning up cast iron pans.

This is an awesome cleaner! Will last a lifetime. Easy to use, quick and effective. A quick rinse afterwards keeps it free of debris a great purchase !

Ok
