5.0 out of 5 stars This is exactly what I needed!, April 2, 2005

By	Amazon shopper - See all my reviews

I have purchased many regular basting brushes (natural bristles and synthetic)but the results were always the same. I mostly use basting brushes for breads and would always end up with Bristles in my bread. I stumbled upon this type of brush while searching Amazon. I ended up buying this one and really love it! I haven't had it long and have only used it on basting bread but I think it would work really well on any food you previously used bristle/boar type basters on. I highly recommend this baster.

4.0 out of 5 stars beats bristle-type brushes hands down, November 30, 2005

By	science gal (Johnson City, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This silicone basting brush is my first foray into a non-boar bristle type pastry brush. I pleased to say that it has been a very positive experience.
Pros:
Very sturdy. Since the silicon is temperature resistant, the bristles will not "melt" when you baste hot pan drippings over your bird.
Easy to clean. You can throw it into the dishwasher without having to worry about damaging wooden handles or melting the bristles. No more having to run the brush under running water with lots of detergent trying to get the bristles clean.
Non-absorbant bristles. Since the bristles don't "soak up" the liquid you're brushing over your pastry (such as melted butter) you don't lose the liquid to the brush.
Delicate action. I've used this brush to brush glazes (melted butter, beaten eggs) over FULLY RISEN loaves of bread. The brush's action is very delicate and did NOT deflate the bread.

Cons:
If you pull it out of the dishwasher immediately upon the end of the cycle watch out! That handle will be hot hot hot! Yes, I realize that makes sense with a metal handle, but you may not think of it off hand.
Non-absorbant bristles. Yes, I know I said that feature was a pro. The downside to this is that you are mostly "spreading around" the basting/brushing liquid over the target. You will have to pour the liquid where you want it, then use the brush to spread it around. Once I realized this, I found it very easy to compensate.
Summary
Sturdy, easy to use and clean, this brush is a winner.

UPDATE: I have used this brush regularly for over three years and it still looks and performs like new! It was well worth its purchase price! 4.5 stars

Agree with the other reviewers, can't go wrong with this baster. clean look, high quality. easy to clean. can't mess with the stainless look. will stay in your top 10 tools for years to come.
Though, it is a little heavier than I expected.
