Picture is misleading, but still works pretty good.

I hate silicone basting brushes, or I did. I found them as useful using a knife to baste with. They're sloppy, you cannot evenly baste anything and you end up using more oil or whatever you're using then if you used a real bristle brush or a spoon.

This one is okay. I'm not going to call it great, but it's better than most. The photo here is misleading. It looks (keyword is LOOKS) like the "bristles" are much more tiny than that of a usual silicone basting brush. The few that exist are indeed smaller, which is the whole point of a brush being a brush. However, the pictures do not show you the yellow blocks of silicone, with holes in it, in the center. I just uploaded two pictures to demonstrate.

It appears to be an attempt to hold more oil (or basting substance) at a time so as to make basting more even. It's a good idea and I will say that it does help a little, but a real brush still wins over this one.

I will use it since I have nothing better, but I was still a bit disappointed. All in all I would recommend this to others, but with caution that it still isn't the perfect brush.

I cannot say I love this thing, but I do like it. Why, because it will not melt until it get around 600 degrees. Why did I buy it?? I needed a brush that I could use to spread the seasoning oil in my cast iron skillets! I like to use them, wash them, then reheat them, and re-oil them, at a fairly high temp. I melted one brush doing this, and was resorting to using paper towels, which I still do, a lot, but I wanted a brush that could stand the heat, to spread the oil!! I check my skillets with an IR thermometer, at at temps over 500 degrees, this thing did not melt!! So, it is still in the kitchen, laying on top of my Mortor and Pestle. I also like the fact that it is bent up where the handle meets the brush, which, when laying on my stove top, does not touch the stove top!! Very nice little extra attention to detail that really works!! Having said all that, I have not used it as a basting device, so I have no idea how that part would be, but I am guessing it would be good..

Having recently moved cross country, I have been in the position of replacing many of my kitchen tools. Because I have RA, I'm am a huge fan of the Oxo products' ease of use. I was not disappointed with this brush. My favorite things about this brush:
1) it goes in the dishwasher- Yay! ( don't you hate trying to get the gunk out of your regular brush?)
2) I can actually use it to brush oil on to a hot iron skillet without it melting
3) the oversized soft handle feels nice in my sore hands

The only thing that might be a drawback is the size of the "bristles". It doesn't do quite as good as a job as regular bristles, but a second pass usually remedies this.

The silicone doesn't look like it would be as good at brushing on butter ...

I was sick of my old pastry brush (and the bristles that kept coming loose), so I decided to give this model a try. The silicone doesn't look like it would be as good at brushing on butter or egg wash, but it really is. The silicone is much easy to clean that a brush with bristles, too. I've always been impressed with OXO's customer service. A few years back, my can opener broke and they replaced it for free with no issue. It's nice to know they stand by their products and if there's an issue with them, they will fix it.

I got this one to make baklava after my garbage disposal had my last one for lunch :(
It is easy to clean and use, didn't rip any of my filo dough, has an angled neck so it rests easily on the side of the bowl! I would habe preferred if it had held onto more butter. Overall, it's nice, even though I prefer a boar bristle brush!

No slapping or flapping

I have always liked using a plain old brush but did not see many that didnt drop their bristles too often. I had received a free silicone basting brush as a part of some other order and was really disappointed with it. The head kept falling off when you tried to use it and you would have to try and scoop as much sauce onto the brush before it all dripped off and slap it around a bit. Lots of flapping and slapping. After watching a Cooks Corner where they addressed this topic, they picked this brush. I love OXO so I decided to give it a try. It solves the no sauce on the brush problem by interesting middle baffles that catch and hold the sauce in the brush so you have something to work with. The brush part has enough constitution to work effectively to move the sauce where you want it to go. It has worked well for us and we like that we can just throw it in the dishwasher to clean up.

I am not really sure how I feel about this product. I mean, it does its job but I don't know if it's the best basting brush ever. The brush strands are pretty large, especially the flat ones in the center and that's just a little awkward. I think that they work better without that middle piece because it feels like sometimes they can fling right back at you and splash some liquid; that's just me trying to be nit-picky though. The other thing is that it comes out kind of chalky colored after I wash it in the dishwasher, so I have to hand wash it; maybe I just have a sucky dishwasher thought. Ultimately it's a good product and I'm not going to replace it anytime soon. It does what it is meant to, but it's not the best one I've ever used.

Easy to clean and it holds onto liquid

a lot easier to clean than traditional pastry brushes that have the rough horse hair like bristles. Those never seem to get clean even with hand washing.Read more

I use to brush on vegetable oil and melted butter. Works well. Cleans easily in dishwasher.

This is a nice pastry brush. I always had bristle brushes before, but eventually the bristles come out and get on the food.Read more

OKish but not as fast as hands

Disappointed

Probably works OK, but I end up just using my hands.
