Tried scraping my sheet pans with a bench scraper instead of a sponge last night

Had this stubborn layer of baked-on sauce on a half sheet from the dinner rush. Scraping with a regular sponge wasn't cutting it. Grabbed my 6-inch bench scraper and it came off in like 30 seconds flat. Way better than soaking for an hour. Anyone else use tools like that for cleaning or am I just weird?

6 inch bench scraper is my go to for cast iron too.

My bench scraper was a dollar at a yard sale three years ago. I sharpened the edge so it cuts through stuck on bits like butter on a hot day. @pipergonzalez, you might actually be onto something with the 6 inch sizing because my big one feels clumsy on smaller pans. The only problem I run into is when I forget to dry it right away and a little rust shows up on the edge. That dull spot takes forever to grind back out with a stone. But for the price, I can't complain too much.
