About this item
- PATENTED XL 8X6 DESIGN FOR DURABILITY. We don’t use just any chainmail. The Ringer uses premium grade never rusting stainless steel that is machine soldered, and built for strength. The machines that manufacture our patented product were originally intended to protect police officers from stab wounds. When life is on the line, you can’t risk chinks in your armor. We bring that same strength to your kitchen sink and believe in quality that won’t let you down
- MADE IN NORTH AMERICA. When you buy the Ringer, you aren’t going to be left with some flimsy, hand-crimped chainmail made overseas which will pull apart and end up scratching your skillet with a rough ring edge. Most competing products are manufactured in China, leaving you with a low quality scraper. We searched worldwide to find the best quality around, and we found it here in North America. Simply put, The Ringer is set to last as long as your cast iron skillet
- TOUGH ON GRIT, GENTLE ON FLAVOR. Wash off the grit AND preserve the flavor with soap-less, detergent-free grit removal. You don’t need to fear your seasoning being stripped off by harsh soap or cleaners. With The Ringer all you need is warm water and you’re good to go. Let’s keep your flavors in the family, not with the fishes. Works great in addition with cast iron seasoning or cast iron conditioner
- MULTI-USE SCRUBBER, DISHWASHER SAFE. Kitchen sponges are 200,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat with 10,000,000 bacteria per square inch. Gross, we know. Don’t worry; this multi-purpose scrubber can be used for cast iron, glassware, stainless steel, a pizza stone, plates, baking sheets, a tea pot, cookie sheets, cauldrons, tortilla press, a hibachi, a waffle maker, a pie pan, a Dutch oven, griddle, woks, and casserole dishes. To clean, just throw it in the dishwasher
- IRON CLAD GUARANTEE. We’re confident that you’ll love The Ringer as much as we do. Used and loved by cast iron enthusiasts world wide, we’re confident you will be just as obsessed. Aren’t Satisfied? Let us know and we’ll get you taken care of

From the manufacturer
You Keep the Flavor, We’ll Take the Grit
Family heirlooms are one of a kind, and your cast iron is probably no exception. We know you've worked long hours to build the seasoning on your cast iron, and we would never take that away from you or your grandma. The Ringer is specially designed to maintain the integrity of your hard work. You don’t need harsh soap or detergents, which will strip away the generations of seasoning and ultimately damage your cast iron cookware. All you need for post dinner clean up is a little hot water and the Ringer.
Efficient, Effective and Long Lasting
Are you throwing money down the drain buying new sponges every week? You won’t have to worry about that with the Ringer. This long lasting, durable, chainmail scrubber can be used on everything from tough cast iron to beautiful glassware. High quality, soft chainmail ensures that you won’t scratch your products, as you scrub off hard to get grit. The Ringer is designed to last as long as your cast iron does.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Surprisingly, the ringer is NOT ferrous (which I guess lends itself to never rusting). My attempts to fish it out with a magnet on a string failed. Subsequent attempts only forced it further along past the "S" bend. The only thing my building's handyman could do was blast air under pressure through the pipes and blow it away down the buildings main riser pipe (a drain snake couldn't get hold of it). Gone forever.
I now have the replacement ringer and am awaiting repair of my leaky pipes (now cracked due to the air pressure) so I can start using it. The ringer works every time and like a fellow reviewer has stated - it's ideal for stainless steel pots and also enamelled baking dishes (use lighter pressure until you learn how strong your enamelling is).
It just works!
UPDATED REVIEW: After using it for a few months I'm really surprised at just how well it works. So much so that I'm now purchasing them as gifts for other cast iron chefs. Perhaps it's my well seasoned skillets but The Ringer really cleans it well and does it in a super quick fashion. One last added point is that occasionally the odd non-cast iron baking dish or saucepan gets the treatment as well for any baked on stains. Get one and you won't be disappointed.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was wondering just how well this would clean my brand new and freshly seasoned cookware. I thought it was going to ruin the seasoning or just not clean it at all. Instead, I found this to be about the best thing to clean my cookware - more than I could have managed. The chain mail has rounded links so it's not too harsh yet easily takes off cooked on food. I wrote to the seller asking how hard I could press using this and they told me I could press as hard as I liked without any worry. They were right. Running under hot water I just scrub away and the pan remains perfectly seasoned and gleaming (after a little bit of post washing vegetable oil).
I have a little hook on a shelf above my sink so I hang the Ringer there and it's always in reach. It's dishwasher safe and easy to clean. If you've got cast iron cookware - old or new - and want to easily keep it clean, then this is the product for you...
By then, I was living in New York City and at flea markets I'd haggle for a nice old piece. Sometimes while walking my dog late at night, I'd see perfectly good cookware out on the curb with the garbage. I've picked up antique pieces of vintage cookware for nothing. i now have a collection of 7 frying pans from 5" to 10" plus one round griddle (like the one I cooked my childhood pancakes on). Only the 10 inch pan is contemporary; all the others are anywhere from 1880 to 1925. They are my "go-to" cookware for many dishes I consider my specialities. My dinner guests say I am a good cook. I am convinced that one of my secrets in the preparation of those dishes is the cast iron cookware. I am amazed that more people do not use it.
Having said all of the above, I was pleased to see "The Ringer" for sale on Amazon and have used it twice in the past few days. I had been using a stainless steel "scrubber" for years, but was not particularly happy with it because in addition to removing the cooked on food bits, it tends to remove the "seasoning" from the pan (even without soap) because of the sharpness of the stainless steel strands. I like to cook chicken legs and thighs by starting them skin down in a hot skillet to brown the skin and render the fat before turning them and finishing them in a warm oven. While everyone loves the chicken, it tends to leave a layer of cooked on "schmutz" on the bottom of pan. I used the Ringer twice this week after preparing chicken this way. The first time was on a 8 inch vintage skillet (circa 1890); the second time was a larger batch on the more contemporary 10 inch Lodge. I was thrilled when I put a little water in the still-warm pans and swirl away the "schmutz" on the bottom without affecting the seasoning in any way. The Ringer is by far and away the best cleaning tool I have ever used on my precious cookware. I already consider it an invaluable addition to my set of cast iron cookware and will insist on its use for cleaning it every time.
Great job!
