Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Silicone Pastry Brush
Customer Review: This brush is great for liquid sauces but don't throw out your regular brushes just yet.
Summary: 4 Stars
The first time I tried using this brush was to butter my ramekins for Panna Cotta. I usually reach for my bristle pastry brush. I had to go back to it since the silicone bristles of the Oxo was too soft for the butter unless it was melted. It should definitely work better with liquids with the small silicone loops under the silicone bristles. Clean up so far has been easier than with regular bristle brushes (dries faster, no staining, and doesn't remain greasy after cleaning).
PROS: Easier to wash clean and dry. Doesn't stain.
CONS: Wimpy silicone means you have to have a liquid for this brush to work.
Customer Review: Easy clean up.
Summary: 4 Stars
I find that I'm giving up the fine control and substance retention of a bristled brush for the ease of clean up and durability of this one, which is okay. The trade off is worth it because I've never used a bristled pastry brush after first use/washing without either dropping bristles or inwardly shuddering at the thought that there's always gonna be gunk left on it that just can't be completely cleaned out/off. Yuck.
This one is sooo easy to swirl around in hot, soapy water and drip dry that I find myself using it almost daily.
Customer Review: Works well
Summary: 4 Stars
Finally a brush that can be used around heat, works and can be cleaned well. It doesn't hold as much liquid (butter, glaze, sauce) as I would like, so I gave it four stars-but it is the best silicone brush I've found so far. I'm fed up with the bristle brushes that always bend out of shape, don't clean well and melt if used on anything hot.Customer Review: Dimensions listed wrong
Summary: 4 Stars
The Product Dimensions: 10 x 4.2 x 1 inches listed for Item model number: 1071062 are wrong. This actually measures 7.5 x 1.5 (brush head width) x 1/2 inches.
Good product although I made the mistake of also using it to baste chicken and it retained the odor. I may have to get another one to use exclusively for pastry.
Customer Review: good enough
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this pastry brush mostly to soak cakes in simple syrup before icing them. I like the silicone, but in the beginning it felt like the bristles don't pick up the liquid very well.
Once I learned some technique, things became easier.
overall, this brush does what I want it to.
