Is there anyone who doesn’t love scrambled eggs for breakfast? Yes — probably the person cleaning up the pan afterwards. Getting the last remnants of stuck-on egg off of the pan without ruining the nice and convenient though delicate nonstick surface can be time consuming and frustrating.

Wait … perhaps you’re wondering: If it’s a “nonstick” surface, why is food sticking in the first place? Yet, it does.

Thankfully, a handy little gadget designed for the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) can shave off not only food from your pans, but time spent on kitchen cleanup. It was also featured in Real Simple magazine as one of the best cleaning supplies.

The rotating curved edge can fit to the shape of any pan, getting into hard-to-reach spots to dislodge stuck-on food. More importantly, the finely tapered nylon head won’t scratch the delicate nonstick surface.

The MoMa Pan Scraper retails for around $15 and is sold at Bed, Bath & Beyond stores.
