To save your friend from having to gouge their cast iron with a scrub brush, and to protect their treasured skillet from damage, treat them to this set of polycarbonate pan scrapers. They’re made specifically for cast iron and similar surfaces and work like a stiff rubber spatula to remove cooked-on food without damaging the pot’s surface. The scrapers are also dishwasher safe and totally reusable, so they’ll last for years. Compared with the Lodge, Le Creuset’s oven has a slightly larger cooking surface and straighter sides.
