The Cleaning Institute

Cast iron pots and pans have been long loved by hardcore cooks, bakers, and chefs, along with moms and grandmas, everywhere. The nature of cast iron makes them long-lasting; in fact, a few of our testers had cast iron pans that were actually hand-me-downs from parents and grandparents. The way a cast iron pan evenly conducts and holds heat also makes it an essential food prep tool for any serious foodie. While cast iron is often preferred in terms of cooking, it can be a little tricky to keep clean, especially for those new to this method of cooking. With our 35 years of experience in testing and evaluation, we decided it was time to ask our testers to try out three cast iron cleaners, rating them on how easy they are to use, how durable they are, and how effectively they cleaned the cookware. Our testers’ first pick is The Ringer – The Original Stainless Steel Cast Iron Cleaner.
