We just bought a new silicone basting brush and are they fantastic......




How to use - Basting brushes come with bristles made from a variety of natural and synthetic materials. Unlike basting brushes with nylon bristles, silicone-bristled brushes can withstand temperatures from 500 to 800 degrees F, which makes them useful for applying marinades and sauces to items on the grill or hot broiler pan. Unlike natural porcine bristles and goose feathers, silicone bristles stand up to washing in the dishwasher, which ensures adequate sterilization in the hot water cycle and is useful if you'll be using your brush to apply a raw egg wash.

i think i saw one at Ikea. it sounds great, especially the washing part. our current brush is so hard to wash correctly i prefer not using it.

there are pink ones here that are so cute! I really like the look of them, but they always look like they'll melt. i know they wont, but that's what they look like! lol

I've always thought about getting one of these. I'm a germ-a-phobe and this just seems way better than a regular basting brush.
