Saw this on Good Eats and had to have it. It is different from most silicone brushes in that it has a mesh "net" of silicone between the bristles. This allows it to hold more liquid, making it less messy and faster to baste items. I have used to baste beaten egg yolk onto cookies and melted butter onto pastry. Easy to clean, pop into the dishwasher.
Comes in orange, green and red. The colors are not my favorite (would have liked an nice bright blue) but not a big deal.

This is a great basting brush. It bastes evently and does not leave behind the bristles of traditional brushes, which is a huge plus. I have used it for egg washes on baked goods, evenly coating a pan with oil, as well as other common kitchen applications and have always have good results.

It also cleans up very easily. I never have a problem with gunk getting caught in between the bristles even if I toss it in the dishwasher withou giving it a good rinse first. It does the job well for the inexpensive price.

My husband is the real cook in the family and has been looking for a good basting brush. We have the nylon ones that leave bristles on the food. My husband saw this one on one of Alton Brown's shows and decided to purchase one. He absolutely loves it and will probably buy a couple more!

There's not a whole lot you can say about basting brushes, but this is the whole package. The colour makes it easy to find in the drawer, it's easy and efficient to use, stays where I put it, the bristles don't fall out, and it goes in the dishwasher.
