FEATURES OF KITCHEN BRUSHES
Cooking brushes are very useful in baking for evenly brushing liquids or semi-liquids, such as eggs, butter, oil, and other sauces. In addition, thecooking brushes are also perfect for oiling baking molds and brushing all dishes, sweet and savory.
Thebakery brushes can be made with natural, synthetic, or silicone bristles:
- Natural Bristle Brushes. If you prefer a brush with soft, flexible bristles, natural bristle brushes may be the right choice for you. They are resistant to moisture and do not release harmful substances on food, however, they require thorough cleaning and may be less hygienic than synthetic bristle brushes because they are more porous.
- Synthetic Bristle Brushes Synthetic bristle brushes for food are easily washed and consequently much more hygienic than natural bristle brushes. Synthetic fibers are heat resistant up to +230°C and do not absorb food odors and flavors.
- Silicone brushes.Silicone brushes are the best with regard to heat resistance, of ovens and stoves, plus they are more durable than natural bristle brushes and require minimal care. However, they are not suitable for every use, for example: they are not suitable for brushing cakes with very liquid compounds, such as eggs, because silicone not being porous tends to drip the mixture and does not guarantee a smooth result.
Before choosing yourkitchen brush consider your needs well: your choice of brush size and shape depends on this. For example, you may need a small brush for making very detailed decorations and a larger brush for spreading sauces on large surfaces.
