This works well with scraping food bits off my carbon steel, but the bristles leave something to be desired in cleaning particles off.I read the other reviews and made sure to not try to clean the cast iron pan with the brushes when it's still hot. Works great with a little bit of warm water on the plastic side to take off anything stuck, and brushes does the rest of the trick. Even gets the day old, stuck on bits off with ease.Convenient little brush for cast iron pans. Simple and functional.Works very well for cleaning my cast-iron skillet. Easy to hold.I love this brush! Finally, a brush that actually cleans well between the raised grill bars!oxo just plain works i use it for cast iron pan and skillet.I needed a good tool for cleaning my cast iron. I tried scrapers but they didn't do the trick. This heavy duty stiff, but not scratching, brush removed all the residue. I haven't used it very long, but it appears to be helping to smooth out the surface for better curing.I like how this cleans off my cast iron pan. Also like that I can just toss it in the dishwasher when I’m done. The only problem is that it is nearly impossible to clean the area where the bottom meets the side. The overall usefulness makes the corner problems worth it.This brush is very efficient at cleaning my cast iron non stick griddle. I have ruined a couple of the normal nylon dish scourers trying to clean it ..... and only this works. No-one could have convinced me at how amazingly efficient it is until I tried it. I was still sceptical up to the point I used it. It doesn't need as much elbow grease as an ordinary pot cleaning brush and it retains its shape after use and because the bristles are plastic its safe to use on non-stick pans.I recently got a very large over-hob griddle. On first use, as impressive as it was, of course it was covered in burnt on bits. Try as I might I couldn't get them off normally, so I bought this and I wasn't disappointed.It takes a bit of elbow grease to use and I pretty much had to go up every ridge individually but it worked a charm. The brushes look pretty abrasive but they were fine and didn't damage the surface at all.My only gripe is it's nigh on impossible to clean the actual brush itself. I've run it under water, I've soaked it a bit, there's just always black stuff coming off the thing. Oh well, as long as it cleans my griddle I'm happy!The only improvement that we could make to this tough little brush would be a slightly longer handle, though its compact size provides great leverage for hard scrubbing. Well-spaced bunches of short nylon bristles scoured effectively and rinsed clean without becoming stained or holding odors. The built-in scraper really dug between the ridges of a grill pan or along the rim of a baking dish, and its grippy, round handle was very comfortable.This is simply the best cleaning utensil you will ever purchase. The bristles are very rigid, but safe as they are rubber. Perfect for scrubbing anything non-stick, and they always pop back to the original position. Just make sure you degrease it every once in a while. You need to buy this brush, anything else is likely to damage your pans.This little grill pad brush is just perfect for cleaning my Le Creuset griddle. Makes the chore quick & painless. The brush is gentle enough on the pan finish. It's comfortable to hold too. Clean it with very hot water afterwards. How did I live without it?
