Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Say goodbye to conventional basting brushes that never quite come clean. With the unique ORKA design, space-age styling and high-tech materials combine to create a professional-quality kitchen tool whose bristles will never melt, shed, fray or stain. Made from heavy-duty silicone and brushed stainless steel, it resists heat to a remarkable 600 degrees Fahrenheit--more than 375 degrees above boiling water. The nonporous nature of silicone means it cleans up beautifully under running water, in the washing machine, or even in the dishwasher alongside pots and pans. Soft bristle edges keep this 10-inch brush from damaging cookware--even fragile nonstick finishes--while a hole at one end of the handle facilitates hanging for storage.--Mary Park

4.0 out of 5 stars Performs well, but there are issues, September 3, 2005

I have a few of these. They are great for basting just about anything on the BBQ, my regular bristle brushes have been discarded. I gave 4 stars because they retain the odor of the item they come in contact with. The odor can only be described as "funky", I have no idea how to get rid of it, dishwasher does not help.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST basting brush ever., February 7, 2006

Whoever designed silicon kitchen tools is my hero. This brush is flexible, yet the silicone bristles won't separate from the brush the way natural or nylon bristles can. There's nothing worse than trying to pick clumps of loose bristles off of hot meat and gooey sauces. No hand washing either - this goes right into the dishwasher. I've been very happy with mine and have even used it on the grill. Haven't noticed any odor issues, but I've only had it for 2 months, although silicone shouldn't retain any odors... Almost as handy as the silicone potholders/trivet, which I actually use more for opening jars (good for people without much hand strength).

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't think it would work, March 4, 2006

I really didn't think these silicone brushes would work (and I am still skeptical about the ones with fewer, larger bristles). But then I saw Alton Brown using one and thought I'd give them a try. I'm so happy that I bought this one. It actually applies liquids better than my old bristle brush, and you can properly CLEAN it! I haven't noticed any odor issues either but I've only had it for a few weeks.
