Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Silicone Pastry Brush
Customer Review: Not a great brush for baking/pastry applications
Summary: 2 Stars
I mostly use pastry brushes for just that: brushing melted butter over pastry specifically filo. I was really getting sick of the bristles shedding from my traditional bristle brush and was hoping that this brush would help. Well it does accomplish that: there is no shedding whatsoever. However, it is not as gentle as a bristle brush and pulls and tears the filo. It also doesn't spread the butter on the pastry nicely, more like uneven streaks. It seems to hold a fair amount of butter but the amount that actually gets deposited on the brushing surface is small. It is easy to clean though, so I'll give it a point for that.
So if you're buying this to use for actual baking/pastry applications, I'd say this is not a good brush for you. However if you're using it for brushing melted butter on a pan, waffle iron, etc. then this brush would be fine for the job.
Customer Review: Wrong picture of Brush
Summary: 2 Stars
I just bought this brush based on the default picture which showed a pastry brush. What I got is the brush shown in the second picture which is of a basting brush. A basting brush and a pastry brush are two different things. This brush is in fact a basting brush NOT a pastry brush. I have to send mine back.
