Know before you buy
This pastry brush features natural boar bristles, which are preferred by many bakers for their ability to hold liquid and apply glazes or egg washes evenly.
Yes, the brush is dishwasher safe, making it easy to sanitize after working with sticky syrups or raw egg washes.
The brush head is 1 inch wide, which is an ideal size for precision tasks like glazing individual pastries, cookies, or small batches of baked goods.
The handle is constructed from mirror-polished stainless steel with a soft-touch plastic coating, providing a comfortable, non-slip grip while you work.
While natural boar bristles are durable, it is normal for a few stray bristles to shed during initial uses. We recommend giving the brush a quick rinse and gentle shake before its first use to remove any loose fibers.
