Different Uses For A Pastry & Basting Brush

The name 'pastry brush' might indicate that this is a kitchen aid just for baking, but this isn’t so. Pastry brushes are one of those versatile tools a kitchen can not do without. Yes, we use pastry brushes to egg wash pastry and bread, both sweet and savory. But, they also have other uses like:

Using a pastry brush to grease a baking tray or pan with oil or butter.

Using it as a basting brush for grilling meats and chicken. Check out our useful longer handle BBQ basting brushes; great for adding that extra sauce or glaze.

A pastry brush is a great way to remove any excess flour, herbs, salt, or sugar from a surface.

They are also convenient in candy-making for wiping down the sides of the pan.

It is always a good idea to have a few different styles and sizes at hand for versatility in the kitchen. You also need different brushes to use with sweet and savory foods.
