Gear Up: GSI Compact Scraper

This dual-sided pot scraper can be used for cleaning food out of nonstick pots and pans.

(Corey Hunt)

What sets it apart?
It’s small enough to carry anywhere and perfect for camping and backpacking because you don’t have to carry a wet sponge around. It’s soft enough to use on nonstick surfaces but hard enough to easily get food off dishes at camp.

How do I use it?
Submerge in soapy water and start scrubbing.

How much?
$4.95

Corey’s insight:
We purchased this from a local camping store when we forgot to pack sponges during our last camping trip, and we’re so glad we did! The size is very comfortable to use and the material dries off quickly. Plus, there’s no need to worry about scratching your nonstick pans.
