Happy with your Pastry Brush but unhappy with how it retains odors and clumps when you clean it? Try the OXO Good Grips Silicone Pastry Brush, which works like a natural bristle brush but with the added conveniences of heat resistance, odor resistance and cleanability. Multiple layers of silicone bristles tackle all tasks. Gaps in the center bristles hold liquid as you transfer from bowl to pastry surface, and tapered outer bristles let you brush delicate pastry with ease. The silicone bristles are heat resistant to 600°F so you can spread butter in a hot pan, and the angled Brush head keeps bristles off the countertop. Cleanup is easy in the dishwasher, and these bristles won't clump, frizz or retain odors.

My most used brush:
Prior to getting this brush, I had a bristle pastry brush that was starting to lose it bristles, and those that were left were getting brittle. I was hesitant about getting a silicone brush because I didn't think would would hold enough oil or marinade. Boy, was I wrong. I bought 3 Oxo brushes in different sizes, but tend to use this one the most because of its smaller size. I use it primarily for basting fish and meats with marinades or seasoned oil.

silicone pastry brush:
I was really excited to use this product because I have enjoyed using my other silicone cookware. It is a little bigger than what I was accustomed to using but it is working well. I just have to get used to it.
What a great brush!:
I bought this brush because reviews pointed out that it held liquids without significant dripping. I could not agree more. Basting a turkey was a pleasure with this brush. Also, cleaning it could not be more convenient.
OK. Doesn't hold as much as I hoped.:
For buttering pans, it's OK I guess. It cleans SOOO much better than traditional brushes--which is why I got it. Might be better for glazes and thicker liquids. I guess the same things that make it good for cleaning make it mediocre for brushing. I'm not throwing out my old bristle brushes yet, but I'm not throwing this one out either.
