Amazon.com Review

Designed for maximum saucing and minimal maintenance, the Grill Friends Silicone Angled BBQ Mop comes from Elizabeth Karmel, renowned grilling expert and founder of Girls at the Grill. Crafted from shed-proof and heat-resistant silicone, the mop features over 160 "strings" that cradle loads of marinade. A great alternative to messy cotton, the piece is angled for comfortable brushing, non-absorbent for less waste, and long-handled enough to keep fingers from the heat. Ideal for the frequent griller, the brush measures 15 inches long and cleans up in the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

Product Description

A great gift for a great griller! For added safety, more even basting and easy, non-stick use ¿ the Super Silicone Angled BBQ Mop combines an angled handle and silicone bristles to make one of the best basting mops around ¿ the brush is comfortable to use, the angled handle keeps hands away from the flames and helps to eliminate hand cramps and tired hands, silicone bristles won't singe if you accidentally brush the hot cooking grates. Three-Time Memphis-in-May Grand Barbecue Champion, Mike Mills, says: (Basting) mops are typically made out of cotton string and are impossible to clean after the first use. Cotton mops also absorb so much sauce and you end up feeding the mop before you can sauce your meat. This (Super Silicone Angled BBQ) mop will be great for backyard cooks, championship BBQers and BBQ restaurants.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much cleaner than cotton, July 2, 2007

Works great; exactly as advertised. The large number of super-flexible bristles suck up plenty of sauce and release it evenly over the meat. Cleanup is then super-easy: it doesn't absorb the sauce like a cotton mop so it just rinses clean. As always with grill tools, the handle could be a bit longer, but it is a very usable length.

2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work for 'mopping', March 2, 2008

This review is from: Elizabeth Karmel's 15-inch Super Silicone Angled Barbecue Mop (Kitchen)

The earlier reviews say that this brush holds a lot of 'sauce'. However, it is advertised as a mopping brush. In that capacity, it is a major disappointment. Mopping sauces are very thin and are used to keep meats (ribs, brisket, pork shoulder etc.) from drying out in the cooking process. This brush doesn't absorb enough of the mopping sauce to be effective. I don't use the cotton mops because they 'drink' most of the sauce...this one is just the opposite. It doesn't absorb enough 'mop' to baste the food to avoid drying out. It is best used to apply thicker barbeque sauce at the end of a bbq cook. Silicone just doesn't work with a mopping sauce.

This review is from: Elizabeth Karmel's 15-inch Super Silicone Angled Barbecue Mop (Kitchen)

A mopping brush? You got to be kidding me. Maybe for a chicken leg or two. I am a serious grill enthusiast who cooks quite often outdoors and I had high hopes for this silicon brush mop. It is neither large enough or long enough to do the job unless you are cooking for maybe two people. Heat loss when raising the grill lid is an important factor when grilling or smoking meats and the tiny surface area of this mop will cause you to waste alot of time mopping on your sauce if you are cooking any substantial amount of food. Good idea that needs at least 4 times the surface area at best.
