A must-have for preparing meat for roasting and grilling, this innovative basting brush features a large 2-inch brush head with fine, flexible Silicone bristles that hold and evenly distribute sweet or savory sauces and thick marinades--without shedding, which can be a problem when using other types of basting brushes. The tool"s premium-quality Silicone head resists heat up to 482 degrees F (250 degrees C); resists stains, odors and flavor absorption; and offers a non-abrasive texture that can be safely used with nonstick cookware (won"t scratch surfaces). Best of all, it easily removes from the handle for quick cleanup in the dishwasher. The unit"s ergonomic stay-cool wood handle, which should be hand-washed only, offers a convenient hanging hole for keeping it within reach between bastings. Made in the USA, the Silicone basting brush measures approximately 11-1/2 by 2 by 1/2 Inch.
