Choosing within the Pastry brush collection

Natural fibres or silicone?

Natural fibres better hold light liquids (egg wash, syrup) and give an even layer, the classic pastry chef's choice. Silicone is easier to maintain, does not shed bristles, and copes better with high temperatures and fats. Professionals often keep both for distinct uses.

Which size for which gesture?

2.5-3 cm suits precise gestures (individual viennoiserie glazing, finishes). 4-5 cm is the everyday versatile format (tart glazing, buttering moulds). 7.5 cm is dedicated to buttering wide surfaces (trays, large moulds) or quick syrup application on sponge sheets for Yule logs and roulades.

Stainless steel or plastic ferrule?

The stainless steel ferrule is more durable and copes better with repeated dishwashing. The plastic ferrule is more economical and perfectly suits regular home use. For intensive professional use, stainless steel remains preferable.

How do you care for a pastry brush?

Rinse immediately after use, especially after egg glazing (dried residues stiffen the bristles). Hot soapy water is enough. Silicone is dishwasher-safe; natural fibres prefer hand washing. Dry bristles down to preserve their shape.
