Know before you buy
No, the chainmail is designed to lift stuck-on food without stripping away the polymerized oil layer that makes up your seasoning. It is much gentler than steel wool or harsh scouring pads.
Yes, it is safe to use on steel griddles and most other durable cookware. However, avoid using it on non-stick, ceramic, or enameled surfaces, as the stainless steel rings can cause scratches on those delicate coatings.
You generally don't need soap. The abrasive texture of the stainless steel rings is designed to work effectively with just warm water to lift grease and food residue.
Simply rinse it thoroughly with warm water to remove food particles. Because it is made of stainless steel, it is rust-resistant and can be hung to air dry or stored in a drawer without special maintenance.
The 7-inch diameter provides a good balance between coverage and control. It is large enough to clean a standard griddle efficiently while remaining easy to grip and maneuver in smaller pans.
