Run, do not walk, away from this brush. I don't know what type of glue they used to hold the bristles in but it must be the Post-It Note glue.

Usually Oxo products are terrific, but this one is awful. The bristles come out of the brush (and into your food). Avoid it.

Yes, the bristles don't fall out... Also, the handle is not just a loop of wire, but a real (and solid) grip. I use mine for cleaning up my coffee grinder, basting, etc. It is just very cool! It feels like $20, not $5.99.

I have almost all of the good grips accesories and I think they are great. But not this basting brush. Everytime I use it the bristles come out and I end up picking hairs off my food. I am so afraid to use it when I have guests because I don't want them to think I am losing my hair in their dinner. I threw mine away. Good Grips, invent a better basting brush and I will still buy it! :)

This is the worst basting brush I have ever encountered. At first countless bristles fell out in my food and every time I washed it. (Although it's dishwasher safe, it failed to come clean in there, even after a big squirt of dawn and much hand washing it isn't spotless, but I think I pulled most of the loose bristles out in the process.) It also doesn't stand up to any heat, I use it to lightly grease my griddle for pancakes and things (at about 375 degrees) becuase I don't like the residue left by Pam, and it shrinks and flakes bristle bits every time. I also don't like the Good Grips in general (these were a gift) the handles are too bulky and take up too much space in my utensil crock and limited apartment kitchen drawers.

This brush was great for awhile on my grilled stuff, as well as on all of my baked items. Unfortunately after about ten washes half of the bristles came out at once! Oy. Don't buy this one unless you don't want something that lasts.

This is a quality brush. Great design meets great utility. So far, no fallen bristles. It's OXO at their best. Come to think of it, I might get two or three and use them for shop duty as well. This is a great brush (buy two, if one is used up,order another while the second is in service).

A few months after buying and using this brush, *all* the bristles fell out in one big clump. Yikes!

the bristles come out non-stop. oxo took back my first, sent a replacement, which proceeded to do the same thing. shoddy build on this item, stay away. That said, OXO has great customer service and other products I've used are better.

When the clan rolled in to Chez Snerdley for Thanksgiving 2003, I had no worries about serving them a prize Turkey. Why? Because I had coated that thing with my secret recipe baste. But that's not the whole story, because that baste would have never gone on as smoothly or evenly without this gem of a basting brush. Because of this Good Grips item, I was free to focus on my other priorities: green bean casserole and Jell-o salad (the latter of which gave 2 relatives food poisoning, unfortunately).

Thanks to OXO for making such a quality product! Everyone's already asking me for my baste recipe - I'll just tell them to talk to the brush!
