• New 2 Lou 2: Cleaning burnt-on or dried spills from a stove or countertop, grease from an oven window or dried-up gunk from a baking pan is an onerous task. The SKrAPr is a tool that looks much like a spatula or a paint scraper. Made of multiple layers of composit resin, it's got a comfortable contoured handle, and a blade that's sharp enough to scrape residue off smooth surfaces, but not so sharp that it scratches or mars those surfaces. It can be used on countertops, stove tops (including glass induction cooktops), cookware, barbecue grills, glass and ceramic. Outside of the kitchen it can be used to scrape paint splatters off floors or windows, de-ice car windows or clean up kids' messes. Listen here, or for more information click here!
