Know before you buy
No. The scrubber is designed to remove stubborn, baked-on food residue while being gentle enough to preserve your skillet's seasoned surface.
No, this product is not dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing it with warm water and letting it air dry after each use.
Unlike traditional steel wool that can shred or leave behind metal fibers, this chain mail design is made from durable 304L stainless steel. It provides a more sustainable, long-lasting solution that won't break down over time.
While it is specifically optimized for cast iron, the stainless steel construction is safe for use on other durable surfaces like stainless steel pans. Avoid using it on non-stick, ceramic, or enameled cookware, as the mesh can cause scratching.
You generally do not need soap. The physical action of the stainless steel mesh is highly effective at lifting food residue on its own, which helps maintain the integrity of your seasoning.
