LODGE SCRAPERPK Pan Scrapers, Set of 2, Polycarbonate, Multi-Colour

They may appear to be small, but these robust little pan scrapers work much better than first impressions suggest ! They fit nicely in small hands, work on plain stainless steel and "nonstick" surfaces (do soak pan first for nonstick pans, though). They have various edges so straight, curved edges all get cleaned and I've even got into nooks and crannies on the back of baking trays that I had given up on. For those who are eco-friendly, the scrapers reduce the need for lots of chemicals or even eco-friendly dish soap to shift the burnt-on bits - and I've cleaned fatty frying pans, hard patches of burnt lentil soup and the cheesy grime from double-use Focaccia trays as part of Church batch bakes, so they've gone through their paces. Keep them handy and maintaining clean cookery stuff is within your reach!

I've used these since May 2017 and initially didn't think they were particularly useful. However, I persevered and now find they are my go-to pan scourers after cooking oil-free egg-fried rice, porridge, or just burning food on the inner base (not intentionally), etc. basically anything that sticks to the bottom or side of the pans. Personally, I now let the pan soak for a while then the sticky residue just lifts off as the scraper slides underneath. Oven trays/roasting pans need to be soaked a little longer with some diluted washing-up liquid otherwise you risk damaging the pan's nonstick surface or the scraper. When I first used them I attacked pans the second they had cooled down and just created a lot of unnecessary work - I did get them clean but it wasn't the best way to use these scrapers. They are particularly effective on my Le Creuset Cast Iron Pans where the recipe or food such as porridge, doesn't call for oil. I didn't know that the pretty coating on Le Creuset pans is basically glass and over many years have used heavy-duty scourers, sodium bicarb, wire wool, and all sorts of cleaning products that I shouldn't have. Now the inner coating of my main Le Creuset pan is dull and has no non-stick ability whatsoever yet baked-on casseroles, hot pots, dumplings, porridge, and egg-fried rice all scrape off easily provided the pan has been left to soak.

These are a very handy tool for cleaning my cast iron skillet. I've given four stars because within a month of starting to use them, the red one cracked and a bit broke off. The black scraper is still going strong after around 6 months of use though, so I would recommend the set!

2020 update: I'm changing this to 5 stars from 3 stars. With practice and experience you just work around the greasy issue. I can now clean off my cast iron trays, whip around my circular skillets, and even clear out stainless steel pans from scrambled egg in a jiffy. This pair have taken so much grief and they're still as good as the day I bought them. I wouldn't be without them next to the sink alongside my brush, for keeping my cast iron and stainless cookware clean! Original review: They're ok but your hand/fingers and the scraper can end up really greasy. You then need to wash your hands and the scraper away from the cookware to avoid soaping it, and then do your usual brush clean with just hot water. Maybe I'm using them wrong but with just a brush I never seem to get such greasy hands. Maybe best to scrape second after brushing first? Then brush again?

Recently found some cast iron pans in storage, and now in the process of getting rid of my non-stick pans. Found out how to care for them and have been using them since. These kind of scrapers are a requirement to clean the pans, and they do the job well. Thus far, after learning how to use cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel pans WITHOUT non-stick coating, I am not quite sure why we use teflon. The only caveat is eggs. Get these scrapers, 2 in a pack and very useful.

Good product

Good product. Makes it much easier to get sticky bits off cast iron. The plastic is really hard and should last a long time.

Fantastic! Does exactly what it's designed for. Perfect for keeping my cast irons clean

Wer Gusseisenpfannen hat braucht die Dinger. Man kriegt super einfach alles mögliche Eingekochte weg und hat die Pfannen im Nu Sauber. Viel einfacher damit eine Gusseisenpfanne zu reinigen als Stahl, bei denen man ja kratzen muss wie blöd, oder Teflon, bei denen der Belag schon beim ansehen runtergeht. Diese Dinger zusammen mit einer Pfanne (hab ich auch von Lodge) machen glüclich. (Mich zumindest)

كاشطة آمنة من غير ماتخدش اي سطح سواء بقدر حديد زهر او غيره .. 👍

El plástico es duro y de un buen grosor. Va muy bien para soltar restos de comida pegados de cualquier recipiente. Las esquinas con diferentes curvaturas hacen que se adapte bastante bien. El plástico a primera vista parece muy duro, pero claro, si se usa con frecuencia para rascar sartenes de hierro fundido no sé lo que podrá llegar a durar. Es lo que falta ver. La primera impresión es que son un poco caros pero si duran bastante estará justificado.

Outil indispensable pour poêles en fonte

Dont underestimate the power of these little two things . It's heavily helpful to crack and scratch out the left outs from your cast iron tawa , especially when you burned something unintentionally.
