Ateco 60520 2″W Boar Bristle Pastry/Basting Brush

Tackle a variety of cooking and baking tasks with this convenient Ateco 60520 2"W Boar Bristle Pastry/Basting Brush! Featuring a 2" wide brush, it can be used for coating fluffy, fresh-baked pastries with butter, oil, or water. It is made with natural black boar bristles, epoxy-set in a stainless steel ferrule to help prevent bacteria and the shedding of bristles. However, the stain-proof black color is easy to identify in the instance that a bristle does fall out. The stainless steel ferrule is a durable, more heat-resistant alternative to plastic or composite ferrules. Compared to nylon or silicone bristles, boar bristles have higher heat resistance and greater absorbency, both important for a kitchen tool! Plus, the natural bristles work better for spreading olive oil, thin marinades, or butter onto product. The lacquered hardwood handle gives a classic, professional appearance for your commercial kitchen or bakery. It even features a convenient hanging slot so you can easily retrieve it. This flat pastry brush is great for a variety of applications. It's especially effective for evenly spreading a glaze or egg wash on the surface of food to achieve a golden brown crust. However, it's wider flat design is also ideal for jobs like basting a roast, buttering phyllo dough sheets, or applying an egg wash on large loaves and pastries. Easy to use, this pastry brush is sure to become a go-to kitchen tool!
