A barbeque grill scraper and related methods of use that utilize a scraping end formed of a heat-responsive material to remove char and other debris from the grilling surface. The grill scraper includes a conformable scraping edge formed of the heat-responsive material. As the conformable scraping edge is drawn back and forth along the heated grilling surface, a combination of pressure applied by a user as well as the heat of the grill surface results in the formation of individual grooves along the conformable scraping edge, wherein each groove is formed to match an upper profile of the grilling surface. Over time, the grooves fully conform to the upper profile of the grilling surface such that an entire cooking surface can be scraped clean of char and debris.

A tool for removing particle residue from a cylindrical container includes a handle, configured to be grasped in the hand of a user to position the tool and to rotate the tool around an axis of rotation aligned substantially parallel to the handle, and at least one blade section extending from the handle at an angle to the axis of rotation. A user manipulates the handle in use to cause the tool to rotate about the axis of rotation so that the leading edge of the blade section moves into and through compacted particle residue within the cylindrical container.

A stirring or mixing device is configured to optionally receive a cooking thermometer along a vertical edge such that acts of mixing, stirring, and/or even scraping foodstuff within a food preparation receptacle may be performed simultaneously with measuring temperature of such foodstuff. The device comprises a handle and stirring or mixing head defining a receiving channel configured to elastically retain an elongated thermometer probe. In addition, the device may define cutouts operative to expose portions of a retained probe to direct contact with foodstuff.

A hardened or flexible tool created for cleaning, removing debris, preventing brush debris from being left on a surface, preventing flare ups and fires for all users of grate(s) with particular application to grates being used in grills, can be formed from a hardened material for the added cleaning ability and safety for all users of grill grates, grates, grills or the like. The handle may be of any material, shape, size, color, holes, indentions or composition and may or may not be attached by chemical bond, friction fit, snap fit, bolt on, or the like. The molding/forming, stamping, cutting creation of the device can include but is not limited to laser cutting, water jetting, molding, forming and stamping. The device can be formed from a composition which may include, but is not limited to steel, stainless steel, metal, plastic, wood, rubber, plastic and synthetics.

Disclosed are various embodiments for a garbage disposal strainer and stopper. The garbage disposal strainer and stopper can include a base. It can also include a top that includes a cavity and a first shaft. The garbage disposal strainer and stopper can also include an insert that is configured to fit within the cavity of the top. The insert further can also include a second shaft. Moreover, the garbage disposal strainer and stopper can include a cap configured to fit through the first shaft in the top and the second shaft in the insert and engage the base. The cap can include a rim extending past an external wall of the first shaft.

A device for cleaning and oiling grill grates including a roller fashioned from an absorbent material rotatably mounted to a head plate, which in turn is mounted to a handle. The roller is used to apply cleaning or seasoning oil to grill grates. The plate includes a scraping element for scouring grill grates and an aperture through which a user may apply oil to the roller. The absorbent material may alternatively be mounted as a rectangular pad rather than a roller. A bottle opener attached to the handle of the device allows for the device to be conveniently hung and stored in a downward position.

A grill grate scraper comprises a handle portion adapted to be grasped by a user and a scraper assembly opposite the handle portion. The scraper assembly includes a scraper head made up of a plurality of scraper blades and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can be in an unlocked position where the plurality of scraper blades are moveable relative to one another and a locked position where the plurality of scraper blades are locked in place. Each of the plurality of scraper blades can be a rigid blade comprising a scraping portion and a rearward portion, the scraping portion comprising a scraping edge and an adjacent side surface. In one version, when in the locked position, the locking mechanism applies a lateral compressive force on the plurality of scraper blades. In another version, the locking mechanism prevents accidental separation of the scraper blades from the scraper assembly when in the unlocked position.
