Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

Get a two pack of four-count bags from Amazon for $9.88 (available in various quantities).

2. A chainmail scrubber so you can effectively remove the burned-on morsels that have somehow been fused to the surface of your cast-iron skillet, without ruining your seasoning in the pan. It's made from stainless steel, it's durable, and won't rust. Feel free to use it on your waffle makers, griddles, and casserole dishes too!

Promising review: "I was looking for a regular chain sponge, but this came up in the same search. I love that I can keep my hands out of the pan when scrubbing. The handle is sturdy and handles the task very well. It has holes straight through to make cleaning it super easy. Very happy with it." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two colors, two sizes, and with add-ons).
