Excellent sponge for hand washing dishes and pots and pans.  The scrub side has just enough abrasion to lift stuck food particles without damaging the finish.  I'm one of those who uses the "good china"  and sliver every day (why save for a special occasion?) and this is what I use for washing the  dishes.  Also they work great on my recently acquired mirror-finish stainless steel cookware set (Cooks Standard).
