I'm looking for a way to brush olive oil on salmon fillets before sprinkling with seasonings. Would this be a good brush for that purpose?

I'm not an expert fish griller, but I have used this basting brush for exactly that purpose. The advantage is the cleanup is easy, especially after using on fish. Definitely recommend.

Sure - I use it for one for oils, one for egg washes, etc. You could use a myriad of things to do it.

Yes, excellent brush for that purpose and other delicate tasks like brushing butter or icing on pastry. I prefer the small size though the larger size of this same product is better for barbecue sauces and marinades or basting turkeys. Both are super easy to clean leaving no stains, odors or bacteria behind.

I use this brush to brush olive oil on to fish. I simply pour a little oil onto the brush. The paddle inside holds a perfect amount of oil. I also use it to apply oil to chicken and anything else that needs a coating of oil.

I have not used this product for dishsoap, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. There is not much difference between olive oil (which I use) and liquid dishsoap.

There will be a slight fish flavor just because fish is the base of the sauce. I know there are some who use it as a dipping sauce, but, that would be too salty for me, personally. Experiment. Try it in stirfrys.

I just use Pure Olive Oil. Don't use extra virgin, the smoke point is much lower. When I season, I just put a bit in the bottom and heat it up. Once it is hot, I swirl it around and up all the sides. Just make sure the wok is pretty hot, you will see a small bit of smoke from it, but nothing major. Then wipe out the excess when you are done and you are good to go!

Yes, this basting brush is good for spreading melted butter across bread as well as BBQ sauce on meats. The silicone bristles grab liquids for easy spread.

After every wash/use, do you rub oil on the inside of your skillet? If not, try that. I've noticed that when I don't take that extra step, food sticks to my skillet. Hope this helps.

I would suggest using a water soluble product and wash the brush with hot/warm soapy water to clean it afterwards. I threw away my directions, so don't remember what it suggested nor it it warned against using oil based products. I don't use products that need paint thinner to clean them off the bristles. Sorry I couldn't be more help...

You should not have any problem. If you need to add a very little olive oil. But only if it's really dry.

What were you cooking? I have never had anything stick to mine, I can literally burn a piece of cheese to my frying pan and it will slide rite off.... I do use olive oil in a Misto oil sprayer http://www.amazon.com/Misto-Brushed-Aluminum-Olive-Sprayer/dp/B00004SPZV/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388543986&sr=8-2&keywords=misto with olive oil in it... These pans do not need high heat, I have noticed low is like medium in other pans and a little under medium is like high, they are very conductive, try lowering your heat and don't put food on a cold pan.

This brush is only for the Grates you cook on. If your Grates are stainless or non stick finish...Then NO don't use this wire brush. This brush works well for my cast iron grates and would be great for very used older grates that need a good scrubbing after each use to get the carbon and food stuff of the grates. I Grill/BBQ all the time so my grates need scrubbing after every use.

Although I am not an expert in drizzling, I would say that this oilcan drizzles. I also do a lot of wokcooking, and it's easy to add tiny lines of oil during the process. My wife and I both really like this small but solid olive oil can.I have to say however that we have the one pint version of this... Not the quart version. That might make a difference.

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.

I have had my pourer for a while now, so I no longer have the box. You might contact Chef's Planet and ask them. I still enjoy the pourer for my olive oil and it is still working well. Some have thought it was too delicate and might break easily. So far, so good with mine. However, I am not a clutz in the kitchen. It pours perfectly, no drips!! It is a wonderful pourer for olive oil and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Good luck with your decision.

Yes. Not a problem, especially since oil would be used to season it when not in use for an extended period. Oil for seasoning is different than your normal oil. You would get mineral oil for oral use from the pharmacy. Cheaper, and it's the same oil you would buy for seasoning the board from the 'kitchen' department. I did speak with the pharmacist before I bought it.

I also do not find this brush very confortable to use the best way I found is to use a upward push at a downward angle so all the brushes come in contact with the cast iron pan I use on it for.If you continue up and down like this all the mess comes off with a little less effort on my part.
