Does this work on cast iron cookware or just sinks? Thank you.

I haven't used it on cookware, but I would assume it would. It's non-abrasive.

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.

My recommendation is not to use any soap on cast iron. Cast iron relies on a layer of grease or oil to not rust. Personally, I would get the cast iron really hot on a burner or fire, and then pour water into it. The boiling effect will break up any stuck on foods, then use a wire brush to finalize it. Keep it on the heat until it is completely dry, then remove it from heat and while it is still warm use a paper towel coated in vegetable oil to seal it.

I don't use cast iron (too heavy for me), but I can't see why it wouldn't work. It's a pretty good scrubber and I haven't seen any wear on it since I got it.

I clean all my stainless steel pots and pans with it and it works beautifully. If the stove is stainless steel it should work for that too. But I don't have a stainless steel stove so I can't say for sure.

This works well seasoning/preserving cast iron. I've been using it in my skillet for several years.

This takes all stains off my cast iron sink, coffee, tea, everything. My sink looks new after I use it.

I have used it on cast iron and have not had any adverse effects. I use my regular dish soap, rinse well, dry with a towl, and then let it heat and completely dry at a very low temperature. Occasionally I re-season the pan.

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've only used it on a black cooktop, and it worked very well for this. I heard of the following product for sinks. "Porc-a-Fix Porcelain Touch-Up Glaze, made by KIT industries, Inc. of Willlingboro, New Jersey."

I use it on my Stainless Steel sink, pots etc and I haven't had any problems. I suggest you try it on a small section on the bottom of whatever you're going to clean!

I strictly use it on my cast iron skillets and pans....works great! They do not belong in the dishwasher; they are to be only washed by hand to keep the seasoning

I use cast iron a lot and I find if it has ever been washed and scrubbed with soap it has to be re-seasoned by putting shortening or lard (not 0il) in a very light coating. If you coat it too heavy it will separate in the seasoning and you have to start over. Turn it upside down in your oven with a pan under it so if the grease drips it goes in the pan. Leave it in your oven at 350 for about an hour or two. Wash it out and dry it completely. I keep mine seasoned by sticking them in the oven every once in a while when I 'm cooking something else. I never use oil to season with, although I read where people do. The ideal thing to use is lard, that's what they used many years ago when that's all they cooked with. It works great by the way. Try not using a scrubby, instead use a stiff brush. Each time you use your pan be sure to spread a VERY LIGHT coat of Crisco or some other good shortening inside and if you stack you pans be sure to put a paper towel between them to absorb any moisture that may accumulate or it can rust. Some of my pans are over 100 years old and they are as shiny and slick as the non stick pans that aren't cast iron. After awhile you can cook with them and not need grease or oil. Rather than buy new cast iron try checking ebay and you'll find some really old pans, they made need cleaning but it's well worth the work. I just bought a one quart kettle with a wood handle and i love cooking potatoes in it. It's a wonderful piece of history to own and pass down. I don't care for the pre seasoned stuff, I like the good ole original pans.

works extremely well on cast iron should work fine on any other bare metal such as wok

This brush is only for the Grates you cook on. If your Grates are stainless or non stick finish...Then NO don't use this wire brush. This brush works well for my cast iron grates and would be great for very used older grates that need a good scrubbing after each use to get the carbon and food stuff of the grates. I Grill/BBQ all the time so my grates need scrubbing after every use.

I have not used cast iron on the two burner cooktop I have, but it should hold up as long as you don't use a huge, heavy one. And as long as a magnet will stick to the pan used, it will work on induction cooktops. I have used large stainless steel soup kettles, full of soup, with no problem.

HOT water is sufficient. YOu don't ever use soap on cast iron. It takes away the oil on the surface .
