Know before you buy
No, the chainmail is designed to be gentle. It effectively removes stuck-on food and residue without damaging the polymerized oil layer that makes up your pan's seasoning.
While it is specifically optimized for cast iron, it is safe to use on stainless steel pots, pans, and Dutch ovens. Avoid using it on non-stick, ceramic, or enameled surfaces, as the metal links may cause scratches.
The cleaner is fully dishwasher safe, so you can simply toss it in with your regular load. Alternatively, you can rinse it with hot water and a drop of mild soap, then hang it to air dry.
Yes, the integrated stainless steel scraper is designed to handle stubborn, carbonized bits that the chainmail might miss. It provides a firm edge to lift debris without requiring excessive force.
The cleaner is made from 304 stainless steel, which is highly rust-resistant. However, for the best longevity, we recommend shaking off excess water and letting it dry completely after use, especially if you are using it while camping.
