Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Silcone Basting/Pastry Brush
Customer Review: I don't need my old brush anymore
Summary: 4 Stars
I have uploaded a customer image of this brush with my Char-siu pork.
Let me get straight to the points.
Pro:
1) Silicone brush (no broken hair, easy to clean)
2) High grade 18/10 stainless steel
3) Attractive
4) Single piece stainless steel construction
5) Inexpensive
Cons:
1) Nothing too special compared to other silicone brushes.
2) Compared to finer nylon/boar hair brush, this silicone brush does not pick much liquid and disperse it very quickly.
This is my first silicone brush. Before this, I had been using the nylon fiber brushes, which the brush hair occasionally falls off and they are difficult to clean. I don't mind the brush hair fall off when I am cleaning them, but they also fall off when I am brushing my pastries and cookies -- and that is only when I see it. I am sure there were times when I did not notice the tiny hair falls off into my foods. In addition, cleaning those brushes are very time consuming. I had to soaked them in alternating solutions of vinegar and baking soda.
I finally fed up and decided to get a silicone brush. Its hair will not break off and if by some magical chances that it breaks off, I can certainly see it and remove it. Cleaning has been very easy. The reason I picked this brush over the other silicone brushes is largely because of its handle is a single piece construction. A single piece handle is easier to clean and it will not break apart. Of course, the fact that I bought it at $9 and with a 4-for-3 promotion deal have sweeten the deal.
The silicone brush head was not well-attached when it arrived. In fact, I was able to pull it out of the socket during cleaning today. However, I don't mind one bit. I simply put it back into the socket. I can buy some glue later and put them together, or I can just leave it as it is, which allows me to clean the brush head easier. This brush has lived up to my expectation.
However, a silicone brush with large brush hair has its disadvantages when compared to the more traditional finer hair brushes. The reason silicone brush is easier to clean is because it does not soak up much liquid. It tends to pick up relatively smaller amount of liquid and dispenses it quickly, whereas the finer hair brushes pick up more liquid and slowly release the liquid (which in turn makes the finer hair brushes more difficult to clean).
I am giving it a 4 star.
