Uniquely engineered to spread thick liquids better than ordinary silicone basting brushes, the Silicone Basting Brush with Hook is perfect for large and small pastry items alike, including pie crusts and layering dough. Thanks to its smaller size, this brush is even useful for other detailed kitchen tasks such as sealing the edges of stuffed pasta or pierogis. The convenient handle allows you to reach corners with precision while the molded hook hangs on the lip of crocks or other containers to keep the brush clean and cool and prevent contamination. It withstands temperatures up to 500℉, making it perfect for high heat situations, from candy making to grilling. The brush's silicone bristles are stain resistant, odor resistant, easy to clean, and they won't fall out, so you can use it over and over.
