CM SCRUBBERKnapp Made Original CM Scrubber 4" Chainmail Scrubber - Cleaner For Cast Iron, Stainless Steel, Hard Anodized Cookware and Other Pots & Pans

I had a burner snafu while cooking and this did a great job getting the carbon off the cast iron pan where sponge scrubbers failed. For a first-time like me this initially felt odd to use, but it was easy to get the job done and rinse and dry the scrubber. The scrubber scrunches up and can fit in a quarter cup for storage or has a loop for hanging.

Works great for my cast iron. Hot water and teeny tiny bit of soap and clean scrub the cast iron. I just hang it under my sink on a hook when I need it. Usually don't need it too often. But its been a few months and it hasn't fallen apart like some ppls reviews.

Works great! This makes cleaning cast iron, extremely easy - even with food that's been cooked on in the oven for hours. Much better than other methods to clean!

Perfect and is needed for cleaning the Made In Carbon Steel Griddle.

I purchase to clean my concrete bird bath. Not a perfect clean but much better for the birds than steel wool

My brother recommended a similar product from the same company (the one with the silicone sponge inside the chainmail), but I just wanted the chainmail & don't regret it in the least! I have stainless steel pots & pans & haven't learned how to "deglaze" the bits from my cooking completely & the natural loofah with liquid soap & hot water certainly doesn't work to get it off either. However, after about 3 minutes of circular scrubbing, I was able to clean up my pot fairly well! Super pleased with this product!

This is definitely going to do the job on my cast iron skillet. I’ve been looking for this for years.

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!
