Avant Grub Pastry Brush

Boar bristles are naturally porous, meaning they hold and release liquids like egg washes, glazes, and melted butter much more effectively than silicone. This allows for a smoother, more even application without the liquid pooling or sliding off the brush.

Yes, natural boar bristles are heat-resistant and won't melt or warp when used with hot glazes or butter straight from the stove. The wooden handle also stays cool to the touch during use.

Hand wash the brush with warm water and a mild dish soap immediately after use. Avoid soaking the wooden handle in water for extended periods, as this can cause the wood to crack or warp; simply pat it dry and hang it or lay it flat to air dry completely.

While some minor shedding is common with any natural fiber brush, especially during the first few uses, the Avant Grub brush is constructed to minimize this. We recommend giving the brush a quick rinse and gentle tug to remove any loose hairs before your first bake.

The 2-inch width is a versatile, standard size that works well for most tasks, including brushing egg wash onto pie crusts or glazing cookies. If you are working on extremely intricate, tiny details, you might find a smaller precision brush more helpful, but for general baking, this size is ideal.
