A single split ring is fixed at one corner so it can hang up and drip dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThere is no silicone backing, no handle, no scraper edge and no coating.

Hardened rings dragged across a glazed,\n        coated or glass surface leave marks you cannot polish out. This is a bare-metal tool, and the section below\n        says exactly where it belongs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWe no longer name a steel grade.\u003c\/strong\u003e The old text specified an exact alloy and attached\n        two quality labels to it. No mill certificate, no supplier documentation and no test result exists for any\n        of that on our side, so we are not repeating figures we cannot evidence. It is stainless steel wire; the\n        specific grade is an open question we have put to the supplier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWe no longer promise it cannot mark your seasoning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Used the way it is meant to be\n        used it lifts stuck food and leaves the polymerized layer under it alone, which is the whole reason\n        chainmail beat steel wool for this job. Leaned on hard, any scrubber will take a pan down toward bare\n        metal. That is recoverable — you re-season — but a flat promise that it cannot happen is not true.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo dishwasher claim and no hygiene claim.\u003c\/strong\u003e Both were in the old copy.
