I picked up this little pack of stainless-steel scrubbers for under $3, and it’s already come in clutch in the kitchen. These scrubbers are built for the tough jobs — think burnt-on food, grill grates, oven racks, heavy grime.

If you’ve got non-coated cookware (stainless steel pots, cast iron, etc.), these are a nice go-to for heavy duty scrubbing.
