This little device is the niftiess thing since sliced bread! After throwing away countless burned, melted brushes and basters either from cooking or the dishwasher, this was a super find that replaced them all. However, in all honesty, I cannot say I own one only because my husband has already laid claim to it! He absolutely loves cooking and grilling with the squid. Try one and you'll throw out all those other devices that only take up space.
