2 Pack Bamboo Wok & Pot Brush Set - Natural Wooden Handle Cleaning Brushes for Non-Stick Pans, Cast Iron Cookware, Pots and Skillets - Perfect for Kitchen, Camping and Outdoor Cooking

I acquired a complete set of vintage Piqua, Griswold, and Wagner (first generation) pans two years ago.After working for days to properly sand, restore, and re-season (flax seed oil - 6 sessions), I began cooking on them and found that when things in the pan got crispy (like bacon, steak, etc) cleaning was a worry and a real pain with the standard "wooden spatula" method. I was worried about damaging the perfect surface and it was a lot of work too.I saw these on Amazon and for seven bucks I gave them a try. EUREKA! BEST CAST IRON CLEANING TOOL EVER! You hold it at a low angle to the pan (lift the pan out of the sink) add warm water (dish soap optional) and scrub using the ends of the bamboo "whisks." The whisk takes any cooked-on crusty stuff right off the surface immediately. I mean SERIOUSLY -- less than 30 seconds!!! No elbow grease required.Works great on the sides too. When the pan is clean, toss the whisk into the dishwasher. Viola! In less than three minutes you are DONE.I bought a set over a year ago and they're still going strong in spite of countless runs through the dishwasher.My vintage cast iron is getting better and better because the seasoning is getting stronger and smoother and more effective with each use.How did I live without this 7 buck item?? I DO NOT KNOW.They will always have a place in my kitchen.
