Know before you buy
Unlike traditional brushes that can shed bristles or trap food particles, this silicone brush features a unique design with zig-zagging perforated flaps. These flaps act like a reservoir to hold more liquid, reducing the number of times you need to dip the brush while basting.
Yes. The brush is made from platinum-cured silicone and is heat resistant up to 550°F, making it safe for use on hot grills, pans, or inside the oven.
No. The pharmaceutical-grade silicone is non-porous, which makes it resistant to stains, odors, and microbes. It will not absorb flavors from your sauces or marinades.
The brush is completely dishwasher safe. Because the silicone is smooth and non-stick, it is also very easy to hand wash with warm, soapy water if you prefer.
The brush is designed to be flexible yet firm. It provides enough structure to spread thick glazes or heavy marinades evenly without feeling floppy or flimsy.
