I bought this for my husband to BBQ. This is our 1st silicone brush. We don't realize it can hold that much BBQ sauce. We were considering OXO brush but this one is on sale. We have been happy with Mario Batali's product so we decide to give it a try. ( We have Mario Batali pizza cutter and dough cutter )I think this is a good purchase and will recommend to anyone. It holds up sauce good and easy to clean.
