Lodge SCRAPERPK Durable Polycarbonate Pan Scrapers, Red and Black Review

Customer Ratings:

These little bastages come in very handy when it's time to clean your cast iron pans. If you've ever just simply fried a hamburger and got a good searing going, you'll often leave a little bit of what I like to call (and eat) "grill-scrapin's" and they can really glue into your cast iron cookware no matter how seasoned. I use the Lodge nylon brush on my cast iron cookware and most of the time that's all I need. But if you've got bits of food that are in love with your pan, this will save you a good deal of wear and tear on your nylon brush. Well made as is most of Lodge's products. Now I've gone and made myself hungry.

I ordered these when my PChef ones got lost in the move. They work great and I'm sure they were cheaper than the ones I replaced. Nice and sturdy (not flimsy at all)!

These scrapers are actually designed quite well as long as you don't use them on a more-than-warm pan as they will melt. I've had that happen to me as I scraped a pan before it cooled as room-temperature steak burn can be tough to get off.

You can scrape the flat of the pan, get the corners and the walls easily because of this smart design. They should be a little bigger and are priced about triple what they should be. Frankly, I think each pan should come with one for free. I mean, you KNOW it costs nothing to make a 3" x 2 3/8" piece of plastic. Oh, and that brings me to the dimensions in the description: "7.3 x 4.9 x 3.7 inches." I guess that is for the package it comes in or something. The actual scraper is nowhere near 7". It is 3" x 2 3/8" and less than 1/4" thick.

Honestly, I rarely use these scrapers because they are too small and just mean another oily thing to wash. I just use my egg turner to do the scraping and since it's bigger it gets the job done quicker than these scrapers can. On occasions where I actually need to scrape with some force, I pull this scraper out.

So, it's a good product that works well on warm or cool pans but for 3 bucks each, it might make more sense to just use an old egg turner to do this tool's job and buy a nice new egg turner for cooking. Or you could spend 6 bucks on a new hard (not flexible) egg turner as it will get the job done quicker than these small scrapers.

They really should be an included item with pans and/or sold at a buck each thereafter.

Honest reviews on Lodge SCRAPERPK Durable Polycarbonate Pan Scrapers, Red and Black

My husband ordered these little pot scrapers and I just couldn't imagine them really working. I thought they were cheesy and just another way to get a few bucks out of a sucker. Well, I was wrong!!

These little scrapers really do what they claim to do. My husband is the cast iron person and he cleans his pans with these little scrapers when something has been sitting too long and he needs to put a little elbow grease into it.

Here's a video he made on Lodge's 6" skillet. He shows how to clean the pan using one of these scrapers and then shows how to season the pan.

I used to use a plastic spatula for scraping my cast iron pans, but the spatulas were a little on the soft side. These scrapers are much, much better. They're very durable, shaped well for grabbing and scraping (a variety of edge shapes), and do a great job removing the fine food particles (burnt) at the bottom of the pan. I usually heat the pan with water for a of minutes to let the food soften and then scrape. Put the pan back on low heat to drive out the water then I add a little oil (whatever works best with high heat, so no olive oil). They are 3" by almost 2 1/2". I still use a scrubber pad to remove the finely burnt food on top of the scrapers, but that depends on what's being cooked/burned :)
