Wide Silicone Basting Brush

An extra-wide silicone basting brush for oil, butter, glazes and marinades. The broad head covers a tray of pastry or a rack of ribs in a few strokes, where a narrow brush has you dabbing back and forth while the oven loses heat.

Silicone bristles are the upgrade from a natural-hair pastry brush: they don't shed into the food, they don't hold on to yesterday's garlic butter, and they go through the dishwasher. They also take the heat of a grill without singeing.

Why you'll love it

• Extra-wide head — covers large trays and joints quickly.
• No shed bristles — moulded silicone stays attached.
• Heat resistant — safe at the grill and the hob.
• Dishwasher safe — doesn't hold smells or grease.

Details

• Material: silicone
• Colours: red, grey
• Ideal for: basting, glazing, egg wash, oiling tins and griddles

Load the brush lightly and often. Silicone holds less liquid than hair, so it works best dipped little and frequently.
