Know before you buy
No, it is specifically designed to remove burnt-on food residue while leaving your pan's seasoning intact. The chainmail texture is effective at scrubbing without being abrasive enough to damage the polymerized oil layer.
We do not recommend using this on non-stick, ceramic, or enamel-coated cookware. It is intended for use on raw metal surfaces like cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel.
Simply rinse the scrubber under hot water with a little dish soap. Because of its open chainmail construction, it doesn't trap food particles like traditional sponges, making it very easy to keep sanitary.
While the material is durable, it is best practice to rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry completely after each use. Storing it in a dry area will ensure it remains in top condition for years.
Yes, the chainmail construction is highly flexible, allowing it to conform to the shape of your cookware. It easily reaches into corners and around curved edges where food often gets stuck.
