Razor scrapers

[BC]

Is this similar to what you use for scraping the insides of bowls and lids??

Yes

Thank you!

I have found that the razor blade in the jaws of a small Vice-Grip works best for me.
Seems to be easier to hand on to.

I've seen different types of handles for razor scrapers on the 'net but looks like variety is limited in the stores.

That's what I use too. Small needle nosed vice grip

Grip and leverage are key.  I used a vice-grips until I discovered this gem.

The long handle gives a lot of leverage, and the blade storage in the handle is handy because I keep it in the kitchen drawer to clean the oven.  WAY easier to dry-scrape the oven and shop-vac out the dry bits than to use oven cleaner or a self-cleaning cycle.  Works great on the stove top too.

I like the looks of that one. Have to shop around. I found that the one I posted the link to a bit awkward.

since we're on the topic of razor scraping, I have a question.

I know everyone has said that razor scraping won't damage the powder coating, but is it possible to do so if you (for argument's sake) use too much force at too sharp an angle? I've yet to use a razor to clean a kettle or my wsm because i'm afraid that I may apply too much force or scrape at an incorrect angle and wind up damaging my grills/smoker.

I think it is a lot like using a razor on a glass surface. To me, powder coat would imply a powder paint, not porcelain. We know that isn't so, right?

Thats basically what I use.  It does tend to disengage and close sometimes which can be annoying.  I'm thinking this one pictured below might do the trick.  Still has a short handle making it easy to use at all angles anywhere in the kettle.

This is the same one I use and love it.  No more oven cleaner for me.

I have that one too! Sometimes I find the handle a bit long, and I've banged my knuckles a few times.
I think I mostly use the vice grips because they're always clamped onto my work bench (and the scraper is usually lost)

As long as you have a nice sharp fresh razor in there you will find that you don't need to press too hard. You will have to press hard enough so that the blade conforms to contour of the kettle. I have noticed some scratches that came from the ends of the blades when they start to get a bit dull. You may wanna try your technique on your parts donor blackie before attacking your prized kettle.

This style works well. Holds the blade pretty tight. Doesn't allow it to flex as much though.
