I just bought a bundt pan with lots of nooks and I am looking for a brush firm enough to coat the pan with soft butter. Is this a good choice?

Depends on how tiny the nooks are. As others have said if the butter is very soft it should work. This brush is well made and the best part i put in the dishwasher all the time.

This is a reasonably firm brush, and will probably do the job for you. It's dishwasher safe so it's easy to clean, which is a big plus. For the task you describe, I personally would probably start with my fingers or a paper towel and coat the bulk of the pan's area, then follow up with the basting brush to make sure that the nooks (and crannies) are filled in but not overfilled.

It would probably work great with melted butter but the outer bristles probably aren't stiff enough for your intended use.

Great question. I would say no, this brush would not work well for your purpose. Even soft butter would be too firm for the soft, pliable bristlles of this brush to work. If the butter were heated to liquid form, however, then the brush would work okay, although the bristles are wide unlike the bristles of a pastry brush. This basting brush is ideal for those times you want to apply oil on a hot pan or on a food item like fish or vegetables that you may have on the grill on in a salute pan. I'm sure it would work great for basting roasts, chicken or turkey as well.

In my opinion, this brush is an excellent choice for lots of cooking/baking related tasks including brushing a pan with butter. I have both the large and small version of this brush. The larger size feels a bit firmer than the small so might be a better choice than the small for the task you have in mind.

Check manufacturer's details. It doesn't get scratched up like a skillet might. Use it for decorating and transferring wedding cakes.

Sorry, but I've never tried adding butter, etc. Actually, I don't remember reading that on the wrapping. It would have raised a red flag for me since some times I will lightly grease non-stick pans.

I have gotten some rather bad mattes out with this brush. I went slowly working from the bottom up. If your willing to take the time I believe it will work for you

you do but this pan was NOT a good buy. The cakes don't always come out right or cooked evenly. I tossed it out after a few uses and failures and bought a traditional metal bundt pan. It wasn't user error as I'm great in the baking department. IMO, don't waste your money on this one. I had to learn the hard way. Hope this helps you.

It is very important that you make sure you leave no air holes when you put the butter in the butter keeper. Smooch it in real good. It is what I do and I have never had a problem.

I used a natural brush at first, found it shed too much. It is best from my experience to use a basic acrylic brush.

I bought the Premium Parquet Brush for use with my C3. The parquet brush is my husband's favorite and I prefer the regular floor brush. It really seems to be a matter of taste. I'm not sure the purchase would really be worth the money. On the other hand, the small turbo brush is outstanding on steps and when cleaning the car.

In my opinion I would say that this brush is appropriate for your needs. Since the bristles are plastic/vinyl, it will be softer than the non-stick coating in your thermos. I wouldn't hesitate to use this brush on a non-stick coating. I am extremely satisfied with this brush and would anticipate you will too should you decide to purchase it.

I use Dr. Brown's Bottle Brush. It works perfectly. Just wet the sponge on the tip of brush to soften it before you use it. This brush is very soft and gentle on the plastic. I highly recommend. Dr. Brown's Bottle Brush

That's what I heard, but honestly it doesn't make that much of a difference lol I ended up buying the brush later on, but the brush was so soft that it seriously doesn't make a difference when applying it by hand. Also the shopping for the brush is so now worth it lol so just stick with applying it by hand, well if you like

The SOFT bristles were made specifically for the purposes you describe. I use mine all the time on such surfaces. I even use it on my flat screen TV and computer keyboard. However, you mention appliances . . .i wouldn't use it on greasy appliances that require chemicals to cut the grease.

It had better be soft enough because that's what I'm using it for: hardwood floors. I've only had it a short time, but feeling the bristles with my fingers, I can't see that they would do any damage.

No it's not a soft brush It's a hard brush worked well for me because my hair is very thick coarse and curly but can hurt if pressed to hard on the cheeks and facial area while combing.

It's stiff but if you want to soften, do it gently in a double boiler. Heat will break down the properties of the shea butter if you aren't careful.

I would also recommend a wooden spoon (I like a straight-edged wooden "spoon" for this) or heat-proof spatula if you're concerned about scratching. My primary concern with deglazing this pan on the stove top to make gravy is its buckling and splattering (please see my review, rating: 2 stars, titled "Buckled").

Yes, indeed. This is a high quality brush. I picked it up based on a recommendation I read here: http://thesweethome.com/reviews/the-best-bbq-tools/
