PATENTED XL 8X6 DESIGN FOR DURABILITY. We don’t use just any chainmail. The Ringer uses premium grade never rusting stainless steel that is machine soldered, and built for strength. The machines that manufacture our patented product were originally intended to protect police officers from stab wounds. When life is on the line, you can’t risk chinks in your armor. We bring that same strength to your kitchen sink and believe in quality that won’t let you down
MADE IN NORTH AMERICA. When you buy the Ringer, you aren’t going to be left with some flimsy, hand-crimped chainmail made overseas which will pull apart and end up scratching your skillet with a rough ring edge. Most competing products are manufactured in China, leaving you with a low quality scraper. We searched worldwide to find the best quality around, and we found it here in North America. Simply put, The Ringer is set to last as long as your cast iron skillet
TOUGH ON GRIT, GENTLE ON FLAVOR. Wash off the grit AND preserve the flavor with soap-less, detergent-free grit removal. You don’t need to fear your seasoning being stripped off by harsh soap or cleaners. With The Ringer all you need is warm water and you’re good to go. Let’s keep your flavors in the family, not with the fishes. Works great in addition with cast iron seasoning or cast iron conditioner
MULTI-USE SCRUBBER, DISHWASHER SAFE. Kitchen sponges are 200,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat with 10,000,000 bacteria per square inch. Gross, we know. Don’t worry; this multi-purpose scrubber can be used for cast iron, glassware, stainless steel, a pizza stone, plates, baking sheets, a tea pot, cookie sheets, cauldrons, tortilla press, a hibachi, a waffle maker, a pie pan, a Dutch oven, griddle, woks, and casserole dishes. To clean, just throw it in the dishwasher
IRON CLAD GUARANTEE. We’re confident that you’ll love The Ringer as much as we do. Used and loved by cast iron enthusiasts world wide, we’re confident you will be just as obsessed. Aren’t Satisfied? Let us know and we’ll get you taken care of

I bought the pan from Amazon. I seasoned it properly. It cooks fantastically. But it does need to be cleaned without destroying the seasoned surface. This gem is no more than the size of a small napkin but used as a cleaning cloth it removes and sticked on food better than wool pads or scouring powder neither of which should be used. It takes some practice but with the effort. When done, throw it in the dishwasher with all the other dishes and utensils. Cast iron pans are great but need maintenance. This is a perfect tool.
Works amazingly well to remove stuck on food in my cast iron pans without damaging the seasoning. It worked great in my carbon steel wok too. The scrubber is very well made and easy to clean with a little dish soap. Highly recommended.
UPDATED REVIEW (AGAIN): I've bought multiples of these for gifts. I think they're fantastic. The last one was a replacement for me though. After cleaning my beloved cast iron skillet I went to drop the ringer on the kitchen counter and it went right down the drain.
Surprisingly, the ringer is NOT ferrous (which I guess lends itself to never rusting). My attempts to fish it out with a magnet on a string failed. Subsequent attempts only forced it further along past the "S" bend. The only thing my building's handyman could do was blast air under pressure through the pipes and blow it away down the buildings main riser pipe (a drain snake couldn't get hold of it). Gone forever.
I now have the replacement ringer and am awaiting repair of my leaky pipes (now cracked due to the air pressure) so I can start using it. The ringer works every time and like a fellow reviewer has stated - it's ideal for stainless steel pots and also enamelled baking dishes (use lighter pressure until you learn how strong your enamelling is).
It just works!
UPDATED REVIEW: After using it for a few months I'm really surprised at just how well it works. So much so that I'm now purchasing them as gifts for other cast iron chefs. Perhaps it's my well seasoned skillets but The Ringer really cleans it well and does it in a super quick fashion. One last added point is that occasionally the odd non-cast iron baking dish or saucepan gets the treatment as well for any baked on stains. Get one and you won't be disappointed.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was wondering just how well this would clean my brand new and freshly seasoned cookware. I thought it was going to ruin the seasoning or just not clean it at all. Instead, I found this to be about the best thing to clean my cookware - more than I could have managed. The chain mail has rounded links so it's not too harsh yet easily takes off cooked on food. I wrote to the seller asking how hard I could press using this and they told me I could press as hard as I liked without any worry. They were right. Running under hot water I just scrub away and the pan remains perfectly seasoned and gleaming (after a little bit of post washing vegetable oil).
I have a little hook on a shelf above my sink so I hang the Ringer there and it's always in reach. It's dishwasher safe and easy to clean. If you've got cast iron cookware - old or new - and want to easily keep it clean, then this is the product for you...
Well worth the price difference from the junky competition. This cleans my cast iron pans perfectly, and I also use it when stainless sauce pans have some burnt stuff in the bottom. It made an old steel cookie sheet shine like a mirror. It even works on enameled pans without scratching. (I don't use a lot of pressure.) It will last more than my lifetime. When I hand down my grandmother's cast iron skillet, this will be part of the legacy.
Works well on all my cast iron pans. Seems to be good quality stainless steel as it has not rusted after many uses. Honestly If I had one complaint is that I really would prefer it to be 8x8 inches vs. the 8x6 inches in dimension that it actually is, as it would just be much easier to manipulate around and hold when srubbing with a square shape than a rectangular shape when using. So, it is due to that issue that I had to take 1 star away.
This kitchen scrubber tool is fantastic! It works great for cleaning and scrubbing cast iron! Easy to use and easy to clean. I would highly recommend and would purchase again!
Works Great. The ring ends are fused together per the description. easily removed stuff that a Dobie pad would not. I they made a larger size it would be easier to hold.
First of all, to say I am an avid enthusiast of cast iron cookware is an understatement. I have been fascinated by cast iron cookware since I was a child. My parents owned a modest summer home on a lake in New Hampshire where we spent all of July and August every summer. They were the second owners of the property when they bought it in 1949 and it came fully furnished by the previous owners who had furnished it in the early part of the 20th century with their "old" furniture from their year-round home. One wall of the kitchen was home to an enormous set of cast iron cookware, hanging by their handles on heavy hooks mounted to the wall. My first attempts at cooking were blueberry pancakes on a flat round cast iron griddle from that collection when I was about 10 or 11 years old. Of all the pans my my mom owned (either at our year-round home or at the cottage), that griddle made the best pancakes. I learned that young. I was dumbfounded when, at age 30, my parents announced to their four children that they had sold the summer house to finance the purchase of a retirement home. I asked, "What happened to the cast iron?" In an off-hand manner, my mom said, "Oh, we left it hanging in the kitchen." I would have paid her for the entire set. It was the "old" stuff from the 1800s. Most of it was at least 100 years old - the stuff you see at auction on eBay for hundreds of dollars per piece.
By then, I was living in New York City and at flea markets I'd haggle for a nice old piece. Sometimes while walking my dog late at night, I'd see perfectly good cookware out on the curb with the garbage. I've picked up antique pieces of vintage cookware for nothing. i now have a collection of 7 frying pans from 5" to 10" plus one round griddle (like the one I cooked my childhood pancakes on). Only the 10 inch pan is contemporary; all the others are anywhere from 1880 to 1925. They are my "go-to" cookware for many dishes I consider my specialities. My dinner guests say I am a good cook. I am convinced that one of my secrets in the preparation of those dishes is the cast iron cookware. I am amazed that more people do not use it.
Having said all of the above, I was pleased to see "The Ringer" for sale on Amazon and have used it twice in the past few days. I had been using a stainless steel "scrubber" for years, but was not particularly happy with it because in addition to removing the cooked on food bits, it tends to remove the "seasoning" from the pan (even without soap) because of the sharpness of the stainless steel strands. I like to cook chicken legs and thighs by starting them skin down in a hot skillet to brown the skin and render the fat before turning them and finishing them in a warm oven. While everyone loves the chicken, it tends to leave a layer of cooked on "schmutz" on the bottom of pan. I used the Ringer twice this week after preparing chicken this way. The first time was on a 8 inch vintage skillet (circa 1890); the second time was a larger batch on the more contemporary 10 inch Lodge. I was thrilled when I put a little water in the still-warm pans and swirl away the "schmutz" on the bottom without affecting the seasoning in any way. The Ringer is by far and away the best cleaning tool I have ever used on my precious cookware. I already consider it an invaluable addition to my set of cast iron cookware and will insist on its use for cleaning it every time.
