THE COOK’S TOUR
WHAT DOES IT DO?
A basting brush works to apply anything to food as you would paint with a brush on wood, metal, etc.
A silicone basting brush, that is high temperature, allows you to baste things that are hot, around equipment that is hotter, that won’t cause the brush, or its bristles, to melt, and ruin your food, or your equipment.
No Meltdowns!
This is how you replace spray oils in your cooking arsenal. Heat-resistant silicone is good for pretty much all pan applications. This is a mid-grade brush at 232°c (440°F) so it’s easy to grease a warmed up pan without melting down the brush. BBQ? See our other silicone brush that’s high-temp.
BRUSH, DON’T SPRAY.
A teaspoon of ghee, or a high temp oil like avocado or rice bran, or a high-temp butter like ghee in the pan, and the silicone brush lays down a nice thin coat of it without burning, or going aerosol and getting everywhere, including the outside of your pan and into your lungs like a spray oil.
MANY USES.
I use it for greasing pans for eggs, basting, brushing butter on muffin tops, and all kinds of other applications. It’s ridiculously easy to clean, too, unlike old school nylon basting brushes, so it becomes a go-to for a lot of applications.
CLEANS UP EASILY
MY TAKE
This is an attractive brush, with a good grip for often greasy or dirty hands. I don’t like the two-piece mold design. The silicone is sadly only built for 440°F. That allows it to melt around cast iron, and certain pans that will get over 500°F, leaving it really only good for off-stove basting. It pulls my three diamond rating for those shortcomings. I expect better out of OXO, especially for a product that is part of the “Utopia Kitchen” series.
