Overview
The OXO Outdoor Heavy Duty Brush with Cover is a handheld scrubber built to strip burnt on grease and cooked on food off cast iron, carbon steel and nonstick grill grates and pans without using soap.
Its plastic bristles and metal tipped scraper are meant to clean cast iron without stripping the seasoning that soap can wash away, and the included cover doubles as a small scoop. Some owners point out the bristles are stiff plastic rather than metal, so they can flatten under heavy pressure or high heat rather than scraping like a wire brush.
- No soap or detergent needed to clean cast iron
- Metal scraper tip for stubborn stuck on grease
- Bristle pattern designed for both flat and ridged surfaces
- Included cover doubles as a water carrying scoop
Who it's for
Suits anyone maintaining cast iron or carbon steel cookware on a grill, camp stove or stovetop who wants to keep the seasoning intact. Less suited to someone who wants an aggressive wire brush for baked on grime on a standard steel grate.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners who use it on cast iron grates and pans say it out cleans chainmail scrubbers, especially for reaching tight joints and grooves, and like that the cover keeps the bristles clean and doubles as a scoop. A couple of reviewers found the bristles softer than expected and not as stiff as a wire brush, and note the plastic can flatten if pressed hard against a very hot surface.
