Cast Iron Care: Cleaning Without Stripping Seasoning

The pick on this site: The Ringer Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber

Strips away burnt-on food and carbon buildup in seconds using warm water — without scraping off your hard-earned seasoning or leaving rusted steel wool fibers behind.

Will a stainless steel chainmail scrubber strip cast iron seasoning?

No. Machine-soldered 316 stainless steel rings have smooth, rounded edges that pop off burnt carbon and stuck-on food with warm water while gliding right over polymerized oil seasoning.

Cleaning burnt-on food

Use warm water with the chainmail scrubber to strip burnt-on food and carbon buildup. That is the cleaning method stated on the homepage. No soap, drying, oiling, or re-seasoning steps are published on the homepage, so none are listed here.
