can these sponges effectively clean cast iron skillets and pots?

I don't have a cast iron skillet, BUT I would say yes to cleaning the skillet with this pad.

I haven't used these but you shouldn't be scrubbing caste iron with a sponge. I have been using a 'chain mail' rag and I love it. I just throw it in the dishwasher once a week and I'm pretty sure it'll last me the rest of my life. This is the one I'm using: http://amzn.to/1Bh8Fyw

Here's a link to a website that busts the myths about taking care of a cast iron pan, including the one about cleaning. http://seriouseats.com/2014/11/the-truth-about-cast-iron.html

This product is made to clean porcelain enamel cast iron sinks. It contains silica & detergents, & is slightly abrasive. I don't think it would be a good idea to use it on regular cast iron cookware. It may be okay for the enamel coated cast iron cookware but I have not tried it in that manner.

I haven't tried them for that use. They're really rather delicate and break apart easily, so I don't use them much. I kind of doubt they'd hold up to grease. Maybe try Dawn with a nonstick scrubber dipped in hot water. Just a guess.

I wouldn't use it on cast iron. Best to use just soap and water on cast iron and not put your cast iron in the dishwasher.

I haven't had a problem with that yet but I have heard the best product for cleaning these pans is a cleaner called Barkeep's Friend. I found it at Lowe's of all places.

Haven't used it yet....But, my usual method to clean up cast iron pans is to use oil and some salt, and rub with a cloth until all the stuck on stuff is gone, then rub with a clean, dry cloth, leaving some oil sheen on the pan to prevent rust.ALWAYS leave a sheen of oil to prevent rust... NEVER use soap on cast iron... Read about seasoning, and use Flax seed oil

The orgreenic pots and pans seem to better that the teflon coated items. At least, the are heavier than teflon and clean up quite nice. Just follow the cleaning and "how to use" instructions.

I guess, you just need to use "Barkeeper's Friend" to clean the stainless pots/pans. You can buy it at homedepot or bed bath and beyond for a couple of buck.

I have not used it on cast iron. I will give testamony on stainless steel cookware however. It is incredible and the cookware sparkles and shines with each use just like it came from the factory. All heat marks disappear instantly as does the residue from cooked meals. You will never go back to what you have used in the past. I do use regular dishwashing liquid and hot water to clean the cleanser and rinse with hot water as well. Dry them immediately for that factory shine. :)

They are very easy to clean. My husband managed to forget something he was cooking and burnt the bottom. I used vinegar and baking soda annd a sponge and it came sparkling clean. I suppose other cleaners would have done as nice a job but vinegar and baking soda is my preferred cleaner for most jobs.

Yes! Scorched rice came off easily. I use the scrubbie pads you would use with Teflon pans, NO steel wool. Very pleasantly surprised to have no problems cleaning steel pans.

Greetings. each link is closed but there is no solder, or anything other than stainless steel for that matter. And yes, this scrubber can be used on cast iron. Thanks for checking in. Knapp Made Products

I got the cookware for my wife, she washes by hand/soak and uses the "Le Creuset 12-Ounce Enameled Cast-Iron Cleaner" on any stains. The cleaner also works well on the cook top. Hope this helps.

I don't use soap on my cast iron cookware. If something is stuck on, I use a nylon brush or plastic mesh scrubby. The plastic mesh seems to work the best for getting the pan clean with minimal effort. I rinse in hot water, dry immediately, and apply a thin coat of oil to the inside. If you use a wire brush, you'll probably scrub off some of the seasoning and the pan won't perform as well. If something is stuck on so badly that you need a wire brush or steel wool, then go ahead -- you won't damage the pan, but you'll have to re-season it from scratch.

I bought Kuhn Rikon Swiss Cleaner Professional Swiss Cookware Cleaner listed on Amazon for the purpose, but I have not used it yet, so can't say whether it is effective.

I would assume it will work. The sponge tip will rip if you are too aggressive with cleaning.
