Blue Silicone Pastry and Basting Brush

$8.75

This kitchen tool doesn't get used every day, but it is still super useful. You can use this to add sauce to ribs during the cooking process, brush butter on poultry skin, add butter to delicate sheets of phyllo dough, add egg wash on top of dough for a smooth shine, and more. 

The basting brushes of the past used to be made with very thin hair-like bristles, and it would be so hard to clean them and get all of the liquid or butter from between each bristle. This silicone basting brush has silicone "bristles" that wash off so easily with warm water!
