Best way to clean hooks?

I use green scotch brite pads

I toss them in the sink to soak right after I pull them from the meat. Then after we've eaten and we're cleaning up, they go in the dishwasher. They come out pretty clean, usually. Occasionally I have to get after them with an SOS pad.

All good ideas! I was hoping someone would say something like, " I place them in the sink with some hot water and XXXXXX and in 30 minutes they are as clean as new....." (I was looking for a way that required no elbow grease...lazy me)

Steel wool works for me. Cleans up real nice like.

Like a Brillo pad? That's an idea.

I was at the in-laws and my father in law washed my temp probes and hooks and handed them back looking out of the box brand new. For some reason he keeps steel wool at his sink, worked awesome.

I use those ball like wire brushes you use on dishes. Then hang 'em in the dishwasher.

Anyone got any easy ways to clean their "meat hooks" to look shiny new without having to scrub them with a scotchbright sponge after each cook?
