Silicone Basting Brush

Silicone Basting Brush for Sauces, Glazes and Egg Wash

Natural bristle brushes shed hairs into your glaze, hold on to last week's barbecue sauce and never quite dry. A silicone basting brush fixes all three. It rinses clean, it won't drop bristles on your food and it dries in minutes.

The brush has a slim, translucent handle and a colorful head of soft, flexible silicone bristles. Use it to paint butter onto rolls, brush egg wash over a pie or mop sauce onto chicken on the grill. Head colors vary. An easy-to-clean brush that's ready for sweet and savory.

What is a pastry brush used for?

Brushing egg wash onto pie crust and bread, butter onto dough, syrup onto cake layers and glaze onto pastries. Its job is to spread a thin, even coat without tearing what's underneath. This silicone pastry brush does that, and it works for the savory side too.

Silicone basting brush or natural bristles?

Natural bristles hold more liquid and give a slightly finer coat on delicate pastry. Silicone holds a little less, so you'll dip more often, but it's far easier to clean and doesn't hold smells. For most home cooks, that's the better trade.

How to use a basting brush on the grill

• Brush sauce on during the last few minutes of cooking. Sugary sauces burn fast.
• Keep the sauce you brush on separate from any marinade that touched raw meat.
• Don't rest the brush on the grill grate or a hot pan.

Care

Rinse it in warm, soapy water or put it in the dishwasher. Flex the bristles apart under the tap to clear out anything sticky.
