Someone commissioned this, which I thought was a great idea. Since the metal of these pans is fairly porous, you don't use soap on them, or you'd get soap in your food. So you rinse and scrub them as best you can, and over time you get oils that soak into the pan and make it effectively non-stick when you're using it.
But from time to time you have to work pretty hard to get greasy char off of the metal when you're done using it. So this person commissioned a pot scrubber for such purpose. It's a 4 inch square of European 4-in-1 pattern, made in stainless steel. The little dangling tail is to hang it on a hook.
I didn't test this out on my own pan, because it would be wrong to sell someone a greased-up chainmail patch, but I might make one for myself and give it a try.

REALLY cool idea, this coming from a chef btw...
at work we actually use putty knives like this http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart.....utty-knife.gif
at home i have always kept a separate brush for that purpose

From personal experience, so long as the closures are dead on, or using saw-cut rings it wont scrape or damage any of the gorgeous seasoning, ive a few that I even use on non-stick and stainless pans, but I ordered saw-cut, so much more expensive, but to those curious..
Nope, doesn't scratch
Yes, ingenious.

Huh. That's good to hear!
A funny note about saw-cut rings: Once I had to get a couple bags of saw-cut rings because they were out of stock of a certain color in normal machine-cut, and I actually had a much worse time with those rings being scratchy than I've had with machine-cut. It seemed like the saw had pulled a burr off the edge of the wire on one side of the cut, and it poked out and scratched even if the closure was dead-on. It was weird.

Yea.. I know the supplier doesnt mention it but they DO have burrs, I have a cheapie rock tumbler you get from Harbor freight, Ill throw rings in with either rice, or small steel shot+water. Let it run overnight and either magnet out the medium or rings, takes the bur and starts a polish. :D
