I have tried all the tricks with cast iron. The chain mail is the bees knees. You wonder why ya never had one before.
I boil water, dump, rinse and scour with hot and I am done. No muss no fuss. AND this thing will out last and clean up better than a truck load of scouring pads.
I have one of the chainmail pads, it doesn't get much use here. I use about 1/4" of warm water, turn the heat on for a minute or two, then let it sit with the warm water and loosen the burned on bits with a plastic scraper that Lodge sells. Hey! These scrapers are THE BOMB!! They are quite stiff and have a nice burr raised all the way around one side. They don't seem to wear down very fast either.
