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.
