The brush that won't shed into your food: silicone bristles hold marinades and sauces without fraying or retaining odours. The 40 cm handle keeps you off the heat while basting over coals.
Silicone's big advantage over natural bristle is twofold: it won't shed hairs into the meat and it cleans instantly because sauces don't cake on. The 40 cm is generous for basting inside a hot kamado without reaching your hand in. It's a cheap consumable that avoids the classic scare of biting into a bristle mid-rib.

FAQ
Does the silicone take grill heat without melting?
Yes, the silicone bristles are high-temperature rated and will not singe or shed like natural-hair brushes that drop bristles into the sauce. The 40 cm handle keeps your hand off the heat while you baste marinade or glaze. Just do not rest it directly on the glowing grate.
Is it easy to clean after a sticky glaze?
Far easier than a hair brush: silicone does not absorb sauce, so it rinses under the tap and goes in the dishwasher. That avoids the rancid build-up that plagues traditional brushes between uses. The separated bristles hold enough liquid to baste without dripping.
Can I also use it to oil the grate?
Yes, it is great for laying a thin film of oil on the grate before cooking so vegetables or fish do not stick. For safety, do it on a warm grate, not glowing hot, to avoid scorching the silicone or a flare-up. If you baste often, keep two brushes: one for oil, one for sweet sauces.
