The Brush of Greatness
Creating bakery-level pastries is part skill and part ingredients. Yet both cannot be fully realized without the proper tools, crafted to perfection. Whether you’re a baker or grill master, you’ve probably needed a special culinary brush to glaze your favorite dish.
The OXO Good Grips Silicone Pastry Brush was made to help you perfect your pastry prowess. And it’s particularly useful during a yolk egg wash.
“The silicone brush is fantastic,” shares Chef Darren McGrady. “It doesn’t get clogged up with the egg yolk. I think the bristle ones have their place in the kitchen, but with scones–if you wash that kind of brush with hot water–you’ll get scrambled egg.”
To Chef Darren McGrady, this silicone brush is a clear winner. The heat-resistant bristles are easy to rinse in between washes, and simple to clean entirely afterwards. The tapered design of the outer bristles helps you brush melted butter with ease—even over thin and delicate dough. And the angled brush head keeps bristles elevated above countertops to avoid messes.
A handy kitchen tool can make all the difference. And you can see for yourself if you snag a brush in this month’s CrateChef box featuring The Royal Chef, Darren McGrady.
