If you don't hear from me ...
.... I hope I'm not dead from eating a wire!
We had chicken thighs on the grill with caprese and cauliflower bites. As I was loading the dishwasher, I felt like there was something in my mouth, I kind of thought rosemary? Nope, a really fine wire about 1/2, 3/4 inch? I wondered how people managed to eat a wire without noticing but the brushes we've had previously had much thicker wires. No more wire grill brushes for us. nancy |

Yep, I use a scraper now. One of those things I never thought about until it happened. |

Even when I took it out of my mouth, I could feel it way more than I could see it, it's such a fine wire. Crazy. It could easily have been swallowed with the crispy chicken skin. nancy |

Wow, crazy timing, I just opened the latest Consumer Reports
and there are TWO letters warning of this wire grill brush situation. This seems to be a very common event. nancy |

Crazy. It could >easily have been swallowed with the crispy chicken skin. I use the wire brush you can buy at hardware stores, a hefty wooden handle and wire bristles that don't readily come out and if they do they are too large to miss. |
