So many things in my life come from Cool Tools! With that said, I’d like to finally contribute: Being that grilling season is upon us, I feel like I should share a breakthrough I had with regards to grill cleaning. I was at the Waffle House in my town and noticed the grill operator using this massive brick of pumice to clean the griddle surface.
When I got home I found some on Amazon and was relieved to find the very palatable price tag. Pumice is the ultimate material for scraping scraps and grease grime off of grill or griddle surfaces and generally, you find small kitchen sponge-sized pieces sold to consumers.
Enter this massive commercial-grade pumice brick. Save money, clean better, eat cleaner. There are lots of options available on amazon. I’m not sure it really matters which one you go with.

Cool tools really work.
A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.
Larry Gonick, the over-educated cartoonist, continues his series of book-length comic-strips that illustrate ancient history. This new 300-page installment covers the rise of Arabia and the role of “Orientals” in crafting the culture we have today. In Gonick’s hands history is a hoot, and very much about ideas. I particularly savor this latest volume because by moving the center of the universe somewhere east of Europe — delving into Islam, Africa and East Asia — Gonick’s cartoons can remedy the ignorance and arrogance of the west. Laugh your way to enlightenment! — KK
