Scrub Daddy vs Dobie Pads

CindyDale · ‎07-24-2010

Yesterday I made mini fratattas in my Wilton "non-stick" muffin tin. They are delicious, BUT even though I sprayed the tin before filling they stuck. I was finally able to remove them, but the residue was still stuck on. I filled the tin with soapy water & let it soak overnight. It's morning and the residue is still stuck to the inside of each we'll. Scrub Daddy to the rescue NOT. It did nothing. So, I tried my spare Dobie Pad. Voila! It got the residue right off with very little effort. Guess what's going in the trash. Dobie Pads are basically 1/3 the price of a Scrub Daddy. Don't know what the hype is about. I bought my Dobie Pads in my local grocery store.

have you tried Baker's Joy?

🤔 I stopped using cooking sprays because they can be a nightmare to remove, especially on nonstick and glass surfaces. Instead, I use butter when I bake, nothing sticks or burns, and cleanup is so much simpler.

Some manufacturers do not even recommend using sprays because they can actually destroy the nonstick surface of the cookware and bakeware.

I didn't realize that Dobie pads were still around. I'm going to keep an eye out for them.

me too I save the baker's joy for when I bake which is rarely but it does a better job and cleans easier

@CindyDale @I use Dobie. BTW, many nonstick pans have directions which day not to spray them with PAM type sprays. Once sprayed it can ruin the nonstick properties (some of them say this on the directions).

@CindyDale Many of the non stick kitchen items specifically include in their instructions to NOT use those sprays in a can. They actually negatively affect the non-stick finish.

I just use a light film of butter using the wrapper from a stick of softened butter (or the saved empty wrappers from finished sticks that I keep in my freezer) and I always use the Dobie pads and some blue Dawn dish detergent.

I also try to avoid buying "non stick" kitchen items. Just me-- I prefer cooking and baking without the chemical wonders.

My Significant Other for eighteen years who passed away in 2021 had a couple of Italian non stick fry pans he loved using for eggs which I had just replaced for him but they just sit in a base cabinet now. I use my All Clad stainless skillets and pans or my Le Creuset enameled cast iron.

I've used the Scrub Daddy but still prefer my Dobie pads.

Added: Guess a lot of us were posting about manufacturers' instructions for non stick at the saame time!

I have found that Dawn's Powerwash is a miracle worker for many tough jobs. I spray the item, let it sit while we have our meal and it comes off with hot water. I also use it on grease on clothing, cleaning my tough jobs outside and in!

Yes, Dawn Powerwash dish spray is what I used. Love the stuff. Forgot to mention that I sprayed the inside of the tin with avocado oil before filling with the egg mixture. Next time I may try using parchment paper muffin liners that I got at Target.
