7" Cleaning Whisk

This is the best scrubber ever for all your cast iron and carbon steel cookware. I initially got a smaller one in Chinatown San Francisco on a whim and it changed my dishwashing life. Since you’re not suppose to use dish soap on cast iron or carbon steel, a sponge or even one of those plastic disc thingy doesn’t work in cleaning. This bamboo scrubber will do the trick. Unfortunately, I moved and tossed out the old one and bought this one. This scrubber is larger than expected and the sellers are wonderful. I wasn’t aware it was coming directly from China (haven’t had good experience with that in the past) so I was a little peeved when this hadn’t arrived in almost 2mo of waiting. I contacted the sellers and they immediately apologized and refunded my money to only have the product arrive two days later. I contacted the sellers to pay for it but they didn’t take the payment. Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Great customer care. It’s super easy to use even on super hot pans. Just rinse off if there’s any food debri and stand up right to dry. I’m never throwing this one away. Will buy another one as a backup just in case.

I bought one of these initially at an Asian Grocery Store some 25 years ago, but have not seen them in stores lately. I found this item online and ordered one for home, one for the fishing camp, one for my folks, another for my sister and a couple more for a few friends. I use this daily to clean cast iron and carbon steel frying pans and a wok. Just pour out the liquid after use, run under a stream of hot water in the sink and scrub with the bamboo whisk. Does a perfect job of cleaning and scouring and makes it possible to get a seasoned pan clean without any soap.

It arrived at 12 inch, I did what another reviewer said, I removed the first 4 inches of the whisk with a power miter saw, If you do this Be Very Careful as the Bamboo will shatter throwing it in all directions! Now it is 8 inch and much better to use in my wok, And for those reviewers who say bamboo pieces come up through top of handle and prick your hand, I put a layer of clear Silicone glue on top, No more loose bamboo coming up.( as this is a handmade type product) This will work well now for my wok, Very nice wok scrub, Just needed a little modified to make it Real Nice. Always wet it before using, to expand the fibers for a better clean, and boil some water in your wok for a good cleaning scrub. I am happy with it now, I love wok cooking and hope this helps someone, Thanks

Was hoping this cleaning whisk would be good for cleaning my wok and cast iron cookware but it came apart on the first use sending bamboo fibers all over my kitchen sink and counter. I had to collect them and put them in a plastic bag to return to amazon which was weird on Amazon's part to have me return a broken item otherwise I would have just thrown it in the trash. There are much better versions of these bamboo cleaners available on Amazon and elsewhere. This is one you want to avoid. **Update** I had to gather up the pieces of this product and put it in a plastic bag to return to Amazon which was a bit weird to start with but I returned it through my local UPS store and got a refund on my account. Now, Amazon is claiming they never received my return and are charging me back for the price of this shoddy product. I don't know what happened to the return. I did not keep my UPS receipt since I thought the process was finished. This is disappointing that Amazon would charge me back 5 dollars after sending me a shoddy product. Guess times are tough at Amazon

So I was a bit shocked when I got it. It’s a lot bigger than I was expecting because I guess I didn’t even read that part of the description, or maybe it’s the girth of it and i was a bit worried about having to put my hand around it, because I’m 63 and my hands are starting to hurt and I’m not used to something that size in my hand. But I have used it to not only wash out my wok but I also wash my cast iron pans with it and I will try it out on the nonstick pans as well. I think it works faster than the really ugly plastic scrub brush I got for a dollar. I have only used it a few times since I haven’t even had it a week yet but when I was scrubbing my pans I was giving it some elbow grease and I was very pleased and I just rinse it and stand it upright which is where all that girth comes in handy and it dries nice.

Item different than pictured. Came with a handle which broke off after a month or so. Does work very well (super easy and efficient) to clean woks and cast iron pans. Needs to be redesigned. I purchased a bamboo cleaning brush for cleaning my woks and cast iron pans. I made my purchase back at the end of Dec 2023. The cleaning brush currently pictured (the photo showing as I sit here and make this review) shows the 'handle' as simply being wrapped around the end of the bamboo - like they just wrapped off the end that goes into your hand. Which I imagine is quite an improvement to what I actually received. I can't remember for sure what photo was showing when i made my purchase, but I do remember reading in reviews about these breaking off from their handles, and I thought i was very careful to avoid purchasing one with a handle that would break off like that. Well, I received one that was attached to a long wooden handle with a metal ring. AND, after a little while, the handle completely sheared off from the split bamboo brush. Just broke straight off. I ended up using some cotton yarn and tied them off in a bundle, so I've still been using it because it works so well to clean my pans. I can only recommend if you would actually receive the one with the wrapping on the palm-end of the brush. NO long wooden handle recommended bc that handle suuuuxxxssss.

Very good

Works great for cleaning wok and carbon steel pans, especially right after cooking.

It is very good. We have no complaints!

I didn't even get one scrub in all the sticks fell out of the handle. Also, I think it's worth mentioning, but taking it out of the packaging was a splinter nightmare, only to have this happen upon use. What a waste.

I had one of these for cleaning my wok decades ago. I glad to say these things are incredible for scrubbing out a pan without damaging surfaces

They sent me a 12" the qualiy is not the best. but i only have a small wok !!!

Works well but a little to big yo handle easily
