This beautiful, wooden-handled 1″ Boar Hair Flat Pastry Brush can be used for coating fluffy, fresh-baked pastries with butter, egg wash, or water. You can also use it to baste meats over a grill. The boar bristles are long-lasting, water-resistant, and snugly secure. The fine makeup and absorbency of the bristles are excellent for use by applying thin liquids such as butter, olive oil, or vinegar-based marinades. This brush’s contoured handle provides a secure and comfortable grip and the hole in the handle ensures easy storage.
