Carlisle 4037900 Sparta Spectrum 3"W Boar Bristle Pastry / Basting Brush with Hook

I was very happy with this brush initially. It still works better than most other brushes I've bought but the bristles are starting to come off and it looks pretty much used up. I've used it about 12x. See the photo.

Used to be a great product but for the past year the bristles have been falling out like crazy. Getting in customers food really not good!

We bought these as a recommendation from another for butter basting. They hold the butter pretty well in the bristles, however, they are a pain to clean thoroughly. After a while they start to deteriorate to the point that the bristles fall out, probably from all the cleaning. They are very difficult to keep clean.

Great brush have been using these since culinary school. Boar bristle won't melt like plastic ones can. Hook for hanging it on the side of a container.

I do not recommend the boar bristle brush. The bristles come loose very easily and may end up in the food you are planning to serve.

Very study brush that can be used for differential applications. The handle holds and the bristles do not fall out. We recommend this product

Follow your food code and don't let the inspector cite you a violation for not having the appropriate basting brush, don't go cheap and buy a home depot ones, this is the correct one and you are not gonna regreted.

I’ve tried silicone brushes but the bristles either break or don’t hold enough of my marinade liquid. After giving this boar bristle brush a try I threw away my silicone one. Just clean it immediately after use and lay flat to dry. No lingering smells or odors collect from previous use. The handle is nice to keep your brush from contacting any other surface when in use.

this is a durable pastry brush, so durable that the bristles will not come out of its housing. at least mine is still working solid even after use of about 5 years.

I love this brush. I had one for years that finally wore out and couldn't find another until I saw it on here. These Work Great!

These brushes are durable and last a good length of time. We use them for buttering bread and buns. I would say they are great for pastries as well!

you can't go wrong with a carlisle product. these are nice because the hook allows the brush to hang above the melted butter we use it for. quality is very good.

Great product at a good price. We use this to brush garlic knots with garlic butter and it works perfectly. This should hold up well over time.

It is a Durable brush that is easy to clean. It will lose an occasional bristle. The built in hook feature is very useful for us.

Awesome brush great buy I use it when I am buttering bread or even when I am grilling and putting BBQ sauce on ribs or chicken.

These great brushes, we use pretty heavy. They last pretty much forever The price really matches the quality as well! They clean up very easy

This is a great pastry brush at a great price. We love the fact that it holds the bristles & they don't come out with the glaze!

I purchased this to use for basting butter on garlic knots, etc. This works wonderfully! It absorbs enough of the butter to give a good coating each time.

Nice simple boar pastry bristle great for using on pastry or even just spreading butter on biscuits or toast and for the price can't go wrong.

This nice 2 inch brush is perfect for using for your pastry goods like a pie we use a mixture of milk egg and butter gets deep down in the crevices I don't worry about the bristles falling off it's a very high-quality brush and will always keep purchasing these boar bristles
