Whether you're baking, grilling or broiling, these flat nylon-bristle brushes are ideal for applying even coats of butter, oil, sauces, marinades, egg whites, icing, water or any other liquid to food as it cooks. Give your pastries an egg wash, or brush Italian bread with garlic butter. Baste chicken with a honey mustard sauce, or seafood with lemon-parsley butter. Glaze cinnamon rolls with icing or brush a cake layer with simple syrup. The sterilized nylon bristles are bound to the lacquered wooden handles with a brown plastic ferrule that holds them firmly in place so they won't shed. The brushes' flat design spreads liquids smoothly and evenly over pastries, breads, meats and even pizza shells. Use a narrow brush like the 1" wide WDPB001N to seal the edges of ravioli, dumplings, or pierogies. Use a wide brush like our 4" WDPB005N to slather barbecue sauce on ribs. Whether you're using them to finish your pastries with a flaky, golden crust or dipping them in sauces and ensuring your meats stay moist and flavorful, these versatile, high temperature-resistant, nylon-bristle pastry/basting brushes are sure to meet your needs. The 3" wide pastry brush measures 9-7/8" x 3" x 5/8", and has a hole in the handle for convenient hanging.
