Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Silcone Basting/Pastry Brush

Customer Review: Won't make me give up my bristle brush
Summary: 3 Stars

I purchased this hoping it might allow me to toss my standard bristle pasty and basting brush. Unfortunately although I do like it, it's not a replacement. With my bristle brush I get an even coating with just a once over, but with this I found myself needing to go over several times to get the same effect and even then it was uneven in it's distribution. I do prefer this on cleanup, a little dish soap worked through the brush and a hot water rinse was all it took. This will still have a spot in my kitchen, but it'll be in addition to not in place of.

Customer Review: Too flippity floppity for most tasks
Summary: 2 Stars

This brush is excellent for brushing raw egg on top of pie crust because its very very soft and flexible. It is tolerable for brushing bbq sauce on meat. Other than that, it is far too flippity floppity to do much of anything else. There is no way I could use it to grease or butter a pan, for example.
On the plus side, it is nice to have such a well-made and soft brush that is reserved only for my pie crust coatings. :-)

Customer Review: Pretty but....
Summary: 2 Stars

I LOVE the look of it. But it just doesn't work. I loved that bristles don't come out but it just doesn't spread well. It's kind of a pain. I'm disappointed because it's beautiful! I guess looks aren't everything!

Customer Review: Poor construction and performance
Summary: 1 Stars

This fell apart the first time I picked it up-- the black bristle section is only glued into the metal holder. I washed the interior section and bristles and tried using it, and it does a poor job of holding butter and spreading it evenly. Plus, the idea that any of the residual glue might be getting into the food was too much. So I threw it out after using it once.
