A pastry brush is a really important tool to have in your kitchen. Although you might think you know all of its uses, there are still some tricks that you probably haven’t thought about. Here are some useful tips for making use of your pastry brush.
Barbequing
If you are someone who likes to fire up the grill, you need to have your pastry brush around! Whenever you’re grilling something with a marinade, it’s important to keep basting the ingredient with the sauce so it stays moist and flavorful.
Sugar
Whenever you make candy or a caramel, the most important thing is to make sure the sugar doesn’t burn but still not touching it. The best way to alleviate that problem is by brushing water on the sides of the pot so that crystals don’t form, ruining any sugar work.
Coffee Grinder
Grinding your own beans for coffee is an awesome way to have a fresh brew every day, but to keep your grinder clean, use a pastry brush to brush out the excess grinds.
