Or in a pinch, you know, use your fingernails. Whadya think they are there for?
Gah, I was trying to scrape a piece of spaghetti off the bottom of a pot the other day, and managed to jam it RIGHT under my fingernail. It was so painful, I went momentarily woozy with visions of bamboo splinters in a POW camp dancing in my head.
I use old credit cards. It seems appropriate.
I get a lot of credit-card-like items in the mail, from stores and charities (“YOUR 2015 MEMBERSHIP CARD!”). I should press them into duty as scrapers!
It’s a multitool! USE IT FOR EVERYTHING!
I also love these.
And they all have different radii. That’s your intelligent design right there.
Holy moley. £5 off, too!
At minimum, this shows you that the " £x off" is completely and utterly without basis in reality. Those must have cost two quid yesterday.
Sometimes, burning food is the whole point! Getting a lovely crust on a piece of meat leaves some nasty grunge. One of these would get it off in a whistle, rather than soak the pan for an hour, like I usually do.
That’s what bread is for isn’t it? Mop up all the lovely grunge
I got mine from the Cool Tools recommendation (it may have been for another brand, but mine’s shaped exactly like that, although it’s a bright pink) some years ago, and it’s awesome. It’s used mainly to scrape pine sap off my car.
Do you deglaze before you soak? That usually gets off almost anything that is stuck.
Not sure if these scrapers are worth it or not; They are from lodge and not too expensive, so maybe they know what they’re talking about. However, even with caked on crap, a deglaze with water and a scrape with a spatula usually takes it all off.
