OXO SoftWorks 1.5-inch Natural Pastry Brush

This is really a classic brush with sturdy handle and strong bristles. I find this easier to sue than the silicone as it gives the items your brushing a good coating. It's easy to wash also just use soap and water.

The natural bristles work so much better than all the silicon ones out there. It was hard to find natural bristles.

I'd buy again.

I bought this pastry brush because I had been using a paint brush to apply soft butter to bread before toasting. I had used that for well over a year and decided that if it did that kind of job, an Oxo pastry brush should be great. I have loved all the Oxo products that I had bought before. Quite honestly, the paint brush that I used before was a one inch paint brush that I paid $ for at the hardware. This brush was delivered to me on March 13. About the first of April, I started noticing bristles on the bread after spreading the butter. Today was the worst (April 5th), I pulled about 20 bristles from one piece of bread (some were matted and I didn't want to pull them apart so I defaulted at 2 for the purposes of my count). I could have gone to Dollar Tree and bought 9 paint brushes for what I paid for the one Oxo (knowing that the quality would not be there for the Dollar Tree brushes but not expecting less than a month out of a name brand pastry brush). My advice is to pass on this one unless you're looking for a good one-and-done brush.

I have bought OXO for years add have like their products, until now. This is the worst!! I was using it to put butter on my the bottom of a casserole dish and the bristles were coming out! They were all over the bottom of the dish!! I will never buy this product again!! Horrible!!!

The brush material fell out and strands of it ending up in the food I was basting. It went into the trash

It is a very bad brush, when you use it, the bristles fall out and end up in the food. It is useless. They should give me my money back.

I purchased a pastry brush 15 years ago and it is just now shedding. This brush,which I bought in October is sherring so bad I can't use it. Horrible.

Bristles began falling off at first use..

It's just not the kind I like
