Shopping List: Battery Powered Dishwashing
Finally, a gadget for the dishwashing machine-challenged. The Dawn Power Dish Brush, which operates like an electric toothbrush on steroids, has a battery-powered brush head which spins away with the aim of making dishwashing by hand a cinch. But, does it work? The Food Section gave the brush a test drive on a pan sullied with the detritus of a roast chicken and found that it actually cleaned away most of the burnt on bits. However, old fashioned elbow grease was ultimately needed to scrub the pan completely clean. At the very least, the whirring, motorized brush adds a degree of excitement to one of the worst household chores.
The Dawn Power Dish Brush retails for $7.99 at drugstore.com.

Josh,
Tsk Tsk.
Any pan sullied with the detritus of a roast chicken deserves to be deglazed with a bit of wine and a tab of butter instead of being brutalized with a battery operated brush!
:)
The easiest way to clean any pan, scorched or not, is to fill it with water and then bring it to a boil. Everything eventually dissolves, especially if you help it along with a bit of brush work...

Bruce,
Your advice is spot on (no pun intended). If it's any consolation, I sacrificed the sauce only in the interest of putting the brush to the test. Next time, be assured, I pledge to deglaze . . .
