Best Pastry Brushes
A good pastry brush is essential for that golden-brown shine on your pies and breads.
Boar Bristle
Holds liquid well and applies it gently. Great for delicate pastries. Harder to clean and can shed bristles.
Silicone
Indestructible, heat-resistant, and dishwasher safe. Doesn't hold liquid as well but is much more hygienic.
Verdict: Go silicone for BBQ and heavy glazes. Go bristle for delicate egg washes.
