Due to the difficulty in cleaning grill pans that contain ridges after they have been used for cooking, a custom formed cleaning utensil has been designed, referred to as a grill scrubber or grill sponge. Typically constructed of nylon on one side and a sponge material on the other, the Grill Pan Scrubber is formed with grooves that fit between the contours of the ridges, so that it easily cleans the spaced indentations of the pan to remove particles remaining after use. Often used for a variety of surfaces such as non-sticking, copper, stainless steel, chrome, plastic, tile, and ceramics, as well as others, a nylon Scrubber can be used safely without damaging various cookware materials. It is effective not only for grill pans but also other similar cooking surfaces such as grill grates where it is difficult to clean between spaced indentations.
