I tested it on a stainless skillet with cooked-on residue. The brown side gave me enough scrubbing power, and the pale sponge layer was easy to hold when wet.
This worked well on the outside bottom of a stainless stockpot. I used dish soap and steady pressure, then rinsed the sponge thoroughly.
The rectangular shape made it easy to work along the stainless edge of my cooktop. It felt firm without being awkward in my hand.
After cleaning a saucepan, I rinsed the sponge under warm water and let it air dry. The two layers stayed together during my test.
I used it on my stainless sink basin where regular soft sponges were not enough. A few passes with soap lifted the dull buildup.
The abrasive face was useful on the outside of a large steel pot. I kept it away from coated cookware as directed.
I used the scrubber with degreasing dish soap on a removable metal range hood filter. The block shape gave me a stable grip.
I tried it on a durable stainless baking tray and could see progress after a short scrub. It was especially useful around the raised edges.
I used it on a stainless barbecue tool and tray at the outdoor sink. It handled the greasy residue better than my soft kitchen sponge.
Even with soap on the drainboard, the thick sponge base was comfortable to hold. The brown surface stayed flat while I scrubbed.
My stainless roasting pan needed a real scrub after dinner. This gave me more bite than a standard sponge and rinsed clean afterward.
The sponge is thick enough to rinse comfortably without folding over. I squeezed out the water and left it on the rack to dry.
A little soap and this scrubber helped clean residue from the outside of my stainless kettle. I liked the simple rectangular shape.
The corners were helpful around my stainless sink strainer. I used light pressure first and added more only where needed.
I used it on a stainless grill tray at the utility sink. It took off the loose cooked-on bits without the sponge twisting in my hand.
This was useful while washing a stainless oven rack in the utility sink. The abrasive face covered more area than a small scouring pad.
It helped on my stainless pans, but the darkest baked-on spots still needed several passes and a soak. I would not use it on nonstick surfaces.
I cleaned a metal patio table corner with it and got a better result than with a soft sponge. The coarse side is strong, so I tested a small area first.
The straight edge helped me focus on a few stained tile grout lines near the sink. I rinsed the area well afterward.
I used it carefully on a ceramic backsplash near the stove. The corner reached the greasy edge under the cabinet.
