Silicon cooking brush
Tell me if I am behind the times here, but I think this is pretty cool. It is a silicon cooking brush that my wife brought home from Tokyo last week. Instead of having difficult to clean cotton or meltable nylon bristles, this one is guaranteed to survive a serious stir frying without even flinching. I use it to spread oil or a sauce around a hot pan but I’m sure it has other uses too. Is this new technology? Or am I just out of touch?
I think you’re a bit behind the times on this one, Tom. Silicone cookware and bakeware have been around for some time now. This brush is also great for spreading marinades or sauces on meats and veggies on the grill or adding a glaze to pastries (even while in the oven).
I’ve seen these in stores, but never dared to buy them, fearing they’d melt. I guess, from reading this blog, this silicone-material cookware works wonders. I shall try them out.
I do have a question though: how does it withstand heat better?
