Question: Best way to clean it after a greasy pan? When you own a dishwasher and when you do not.
Document: A well-seasoned cast iron pan will develop a non-stick finish that will scramble eggs and wipe right out with a paper towel. The best way to ruin that finish is with metal cleaning utensils. Never ever use metal or soap on well-seasoned cast iron. A nylon scrub brush with hot water, then dried completely and wiped down with a little oil or lard.
The only way to clean cast iron, seriously. I never use a sponge on my cast iron, brushes worked... ok. This thing is the best. Get it, love it.
It does clean the pot without gouging the bottom and sides (no sharp edges). It can be difficult to keep a grip on if the pan was greasy. Overall glad I purchased.
Works! I will never have to buy another scrubby. It works well on cast iron and stainless steel. My boyfriend does love it though he has always been a good dishwasher. In the end I think it will save time and money because I go through fewer sponges. It gets very greasy and black sometimes but cleans easily. I recommend it.
This really is the best possible way to clean cast iron. I've been using steel wool or green scrubbies for years, but neither was satisfactory. Steel wool rusts out, scrubbies trap the grease, and both become disgusting quickly. But this chain mail works perfectly... it has enough abrasion to remove burnt stuff, but is wide open to allow the grease to wash off, and since it is stainless metal, it dries fast and doesn't rust.
I have average-sized hands at best but I can only use about 3 fingers worth of my hand to clean with this product. Another square inch would go a long way to improving this product.Next, this isn't the only scrubber you'll ever need. I bought it specifically to clean a cast iron griddle. I've found that the rings are too large to fit between the grooves in the griddle and dislodge food. I end up having to follow up with a standard scrubber most of the time.
This is perhaps the best simple invention to clean stainless or cast iron ever! No more soaking overnight or fighting with your sponges to get hard stuck on grime off. Just a few rubs with this bad boy and you're good to go! Works wonders with cast iron and I use it on my all clad copper core too. It can scratch the inside (which i would think is the only side you'd use it on. ) but it's a pan that's to be used so scratches don't bother me.
Even took it camping and it worked great on some camp fire cooking "mistakes" that occurred. The best part is I know this is clean when I use it. To clean the scrubber, after I finish cleaning my pan, I take a little soap and wash this as I am washing up my hands. We hang it to dry on a little hook by the sink. And its done and ready for the next time.I know my kitchen will never be without this little scrubber!
This is the best ever scrubber for cast iron. I bought it because the members of my household were trying to clean a cast iron fry pan with a cloth rag, steel wool pad, or plastic scrubber and lots of detergent. That method was totally ruining the finish of the pan with food sticking to it as the inevitable result. This Chain Mail scrubber gets all the pieces of food off the surface of the pan without removing that painstakingly acquired finish resulting a clean pan to which food does not stick.
This scrubber is fantastic! Any other way to clean a cast iron pan is just plain wrong!
Answer: it can get pretty dirty after cleaning a greasy pan. I think a dishwasher is essential.
