Silicone Pastry and Basting Brush

Bristle brushes shed into the glaze and hold onto yesterday's garlic. Silicone does neither. This one picks up a controlled amount of sauce per dip and lays it down evenly instead of dumping it in one spot and dragging it thin across the rest.

Cleans properly

Soapy water or the dishwasher, and the grease actually leaves. It dries fast and comes out looking new, which is more than a natural-bristle brush manages after one session with barbecue sauce.

Heat limits worth knowing

The bristles take up to 500°F, so they can touch a hot grate. The handle is rated to 220°F, so rest it off the grill rather than leaving it lying across one.
