Arg!!!
I'm frustrated with my pastry brushes leaving it's bristles does anyone know of a brand that doesn't leave bristles?
I have a couple of cheap ones I bought at walmart and so far they don't leave bristles. They were about two dollars for the pair.
I have this problem with paint brushes. I have bought the ones from Wilton and they leave bristles, I bought ok ones from the painting section and they leave bristles. I am afraid to buy a good set... because if they leave bristles I will just cry.
Does anyone know what paint brushes to buy, so that they don't leave bristles?

I bought a couple of silicone ones (they have two for a dollar at Dollar Tree) but they don't work as well for me as the bristle ones.
For the paint brushes, I use the really cheap kids brushes (except for tiny details, a script liner brush from the real paintbrush section works for that). I usually will twist the bristles a little and pull to see if any are going to come loose. If you dry the paint brushes upside down (bristle end up) they last a lot longer.
If you are talking about using it for putting splashes onto cakes? Splashes meaning y'know simple syrup with Grand Marnier or some flavor. One of the guys I worked for used a squirt bottle for this. So that's how I've always done it. Works great. Quick too.
Of course if you were meaning to apply pan release aka pan goop, then a paper towel works great. But I think I'd rather use a gloved hand. Actually I just line my pans with silicone paper myself but...
I've adapted to silicone, too. It's not exactly the same as a bristled brush, but it doesn't drop bristles in my food! A woman at work never eats my desserts any more, because a long time ago she found what she thought was a hair on one of my cakes. It wasn't, of course (I pull my hair into a bun and wear a wide fabric band over it when I work)... it was a bristle from the darn pastry brush I'd used to paint cake release on the pan.
Now I use the spray-cans for that, and use a silicone brush for almost everything else. The only time I still use a bristled brush is when brushing the powder (cornstarch, powdered sugar) off my finished cakes.... silicone doesn't work for that.
Silicone for me as a general purpose brush. For fine dusting of small details, I use a fan shaped paint brush with silicone bristles. For simple syrup, I use the squirt bottle or (my firend just suggested this recently and it works great) I use the same type bottle topper one uses for olive oil, etc. Works great!
I buy mine at the restaurant supply store and have no problems so far. The ones I used to have left bristles. I have the paint brush problem as well, and I bought the decent ones from the art section= not the cheap ones, but not the most expensive ones either.
