Better Basting Brush

I recently found one of the greatest kitchen gadgets that I didn’t think that I needed. I was shopping in a specialty store and I found a Silicone Basting Brush.

First I thought to my self, I am going to spend $8 on this why? Curiosity won out and I made my purchase and got it home.

It touts that it will not melt, even in temperatures of up to 450º. I made up some bread, melted some butter and grabbed my new basting brush.

I am in love! This was the best purchase I have ever made.

The brush provided excellent heavy coverage of butter with out very much dripping.

Clean up? Tossed it in the dishwasher and it is just like new.

I am now using it for basting everything, including barbecue sauce over meats in the oven and on the grill, as well as putting butter on pancakes.
