A review about a pot scraper?
urban escapee16 years ago
Who ever thought someone would waste time reviewing a pot scraper? Really. But here I am, I really felt like this pot scraper needed some love. I saw it here all lonely with no reviews so here it goes.
It's rough and tough and it's hard on those stubborn burnt-on-rice-bottoms. But unlike many others, this little guy has a gentle soft side too; great for collecting all the gooey oatmeal and chili leavings from just about any pot. He always comes with me because I like dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

melts too easily
Elijah1 year ago
Was working great until I used it on my cast iron skillet that was already cooled down for ten minutes and the silicone part melted down and is breaking up. Needs to be a more heat resistant silicone if it’s gonna be used as a scraper.

Great little tool
14 years ago
This is a great little camp kitchen utensil. I got one just before my most recent backpacking trip. It works great as a small spatula for doing things like flipping trail flat bread, eggs, etc. It also is great, as the description metions, for getting the last of the oatmeal out of the pot. The hard side does a commendable job of scrapping burned on food out of pots and pans. To be realistic, it can't do it all. Some jobs just require steel wool (tends to happen with eggs no matter how careful I am), but it'll get the pots clean enough to cook with again until you get home. This thing lives in the top pocket of my pack along with my spork.

Scraper, Spoon, Mouse bait...
9 years ago
Pros: Soft edge for getting the pot extra clean, hard edge doubles as a knife for cheese or butter Cons: Mice thought mine was tasty... :( How to wash your GSI FairShare Mug: Take this handy-dandy Scraper and use the soft edge to get your mug just about sparkling clean. Use the hard edge to get rid of any caked on stuff. Put a wee bit of boiling water in your mug (include your Scraper if you want to kill two birds with one stone). Give your Mug a few shakes (careful of the steam and boiling water forcing its way through the lid seal). Vouala! Other than mine being mouse food the first night, it held up really well. Definitely would buy again (have to, actually, since mine is now a bit toothed).

.:A eulogy:.

A eulogy, to the best pan scraper a dirtbag could ask for. Never once has your hard side scraped the Teflon off my cheap Walmart pan. And never once has your soft side failed to squeegee the grease from my morning breakfast mess. Your continued dedication to excellence never wavered, even after I tried to use you to flip a pancake (not suggested). In wake of your absence, I have taken a vow to no longer place things on the roof of my car. Take care old friend.

Great device!

I have two of these because if i lost one I would probably cancel my trip :( not really, but they really make cleaning sooo much easier. Perfect for burned rice, potatoes, etc while using the hard side, and great for oatmeal, chili, etc while using the soft side. It's small enough you could probably attach a carabiner through the hole of it, but I keep mine in a pocket on my pack. I definitely bring it with me on all my backpacking and camping trips. A side note, both of the ones I have received from REI have been orange where the picture shows white, and grey where the picture shows blue. Not sure if they stock assorted colors, doesn't really make a difference to me, but thought I would add that info in here.

favorite cooking/cleanup utensil
11 years ago
I just taught a course for the scouts on lightweight backpacking and bought some of these to use as door prizes. I told the class that they were "my favorite piece of equipment for cooking and cleaning" on a backpacking trip. I tell scouts to keep the scraper scrupulously clean and then to use it after a meal to eat *all* of the food leftover in a pot. They should then add a little water to the pot and clean with a finger, then drink the water. This tool really helps with Leave No Trace.

I bought my first many years ago

I have given these to my sister, sister in law and my dad - for the house kitchens. I am on my fourth, maybe more. I have one in my tent camping kit, one in my camper kitchen. I have two for my kitchen kitchen, one for the sink, one for the dishwasher. I am about to order another, every year or so, one needs to be replaced. So - it is a great scraper, there is a hard side and a "non stick" or "china" side. It fits nicely in my hand. We were on a camping trip with a friend who was saying..."it's going to take a long time to wash these dishes.... oooohhh, you have a scraper.... this will go fast."

Works but doesn’t hold up to temps

Some of the reviews are correct, this tool should be used when your pan is cooled down. The tool itself is nicely designed with two sides of varying strength-a rubbery flexible side to get the sides of the pan and a harder side to scrape off some hard bits. Be sure to clean the tool after each use thoroughly - grease likes to stick to this. Also beware of scraping your more delicate or nonstick pans if using this regularly. When this tool gets too hot, it starts to shred and warp, which then makes it useless. However it is quite handy so I did end up purchasing another. Not super eco friendly in that way. So, if you want a helpful kitchen or camping kitchen gadget, this is much better than a bunch of sponges.

I used to use pebbles from ground to clean the pan. With this scrapper, it's so much easier to clean the pan/pot because of rounded and straight edges. One side of the edge is stiff which is nice to scrape the hard food off. Other side is more of cleaning the food out. Very compact and practical to use if you are minimalist.

I use this in conjunction with the 1.1litre pot by GSI. It cleans things up lic-itky slit and is super convenient much like a non-stick surface is. Great to be able to get every last bit out of your meal and cleans up the pot.. Makes washing very minimal. It only does one thing and it seems like it could be made lighter or attach to a utensil if they wanted to. Actual weight of mine is 0.6oz not 0.4oz as stated in description.
