No Tox Life Casa Agave Pot Brush

Recommended

A short, stiff palmyra-fiber scrub brush for cast iron, sheet pans, and baked-on food - the plant-fiber answer to a hard nylon pot brush.

The verdict: Plastic-free

A handheld pot brush with medium-stiff palmyra (palm) fiber bristles on a moso bamboo body - firm enough for cast iron and stuck-on food, and no nylon. As with the long-handle brush, the bamboo carries a thin water-based polyurethane varnish and the bristles are set with metal staples, so the head isn't literally 100% compostable, but nothing plastic touches your cookware. Palm fiber is the stiffest of the common natural bristles, which is what makes it the right pick for heavy scrubbing.

Bamboo No

A compact, palm-sized scrub brush for the jobs a soft dish brush can't handle - cast iron, roasting pans, and cooked-on residue. The stiff palmyra bristles do the scouring without a metal scrubber's scratch risk on most cookware. Rinse and hang to dry.

Pros

  • Stiff palm fiber scrubs baked-on food without nylon
  • Gentler on cookware than a metal scrubber
  • Compact and easy to control

Cons

  • Not for delicate nonstick - palm fiber is coarse
  • Metal staples and varnished bamboo mean it isn't fully compostable
