Scotch-Brite Stainless Steel Scrubber 84 1.75 Oz (84)

I've used these in every professional kitchen I've been in. For any dish that you don't worry about scratching, this cuts through food traces like a tiger licking meat off a bone. I wave one of these over the surface of any dish a couple times and it's already 90% clean. Occasionally I need to replace one when some burnt food leaves crumbs on everything else or if it's got so much mileage that it gets distorted into an amorphous nest, but in a household setting each one lasts me at least half a year.
