Must-have chain mail scrubber
But how does this Medieval-looking kitchen tool actually work, you ask? Hear us out!
How does a chain mail scrubber work?
The High Grade stainless steel – 316 Grade, same as what is used for surgical implements – is formed into 15 gauge wire rings and then linked together to form a nearly indestructible cast iron cleaning tool. The small rings easily remove stuck-on food bits from your cast-iron pan without damaging the delicate it at all.
Thanks to its high-quality stainless steel, the gadget is considered the 'world’s best' cast-iron cleaner by cooking experts near and far – The New York Times and many celebrity chefs are reportedly huge fans of this simple workhorse.
Over time, scrubbing your pans with the tough metal tool creates a textured surface more conducive to picking up seasoning, aka a flavour hit. That’s a win-win for Christmas Day – and surely worth the investment.
'I accidentally put one down the garbage disposal once and broke the disposal and the scrubber,' Jennifer Garner told New York Magazine. 'I was sadder about the scrubber. That’s how strongly I feel about it.'
Happy scrubbing!
