JapanBargain, Oil Brush for Cooking Takoyaki Teppanyaki BBQ Grill Pastry

Very good to brush the pan

It’s something you find in the 100 Yen shop (Dollar store), so the quality is 99cents. But the very good one I had which I bought in Japan (cost me $10) worn out and I really needed something similar. I had to pay 5 times more for smaller, a bit flimsy brush but it does the job. Cheaper than traveling to Japan. I love the cotton threads because it really spreads oils evenly by absorbing the excess oil. I use this for my waffle maker a lot. I do not like the silicon ones because of the plastic smell and they do not spread evenly. I believe you are not supposed to wash this...just replace it to a new one when it gets old.

Not so easy to twist or apply. Maybe easier using kitchen towel

I thought something this expensive would be a bit more polished and have better quality control.The steel ring part is too loose, and too big on the wooden stick even at first glance, it is not a good fit.the wood part is not polished or treated with barely any wood finishing, feels like they just used it straight away after cutting the wood.I have yet to use the brush for actual practical use yet but from the look of the product, it is to say I am very disappointed. I will update the review after I used the product if the product does its job well, then I think it can be a 4 star review.
