Le Creuset Craft Basting Brush
The Le Creuset Craft Basting Brush is designed for cooks who want precision rather than just coverage. The shorter silicone bristles give more control over each stroke, which makes a genuine difference when applying a glaze evenly or basting at the grill. Premium silicone means it handles temperatures up to 250 degrees C safely and releases even sticky marinades cleanly into the dishwasher afterwards. It is a straightforward tool done well, with the build quality you expect from Le Creuset.
Features:
Short bristles for precision application: The shorter bristle length gives more control over each stroke, allowing marinades and sauces to be applied evenly and accurately rather than in broad sweeps.
Heat resistant to 250 degrees C: The premium silicone is rated for use up to 250 degrees C, covering oven basting, grill work, and hob-side application safely.
Non-stick and enamel safe: Silicone bristles will not scratch or damage non-stick coatings or enamelled surfaces, so the brush can be used directly in the pan as well as on the food.
Dishwasher safe: The whole brush is dishwasher safe, making it straightforward to clean thoroughly between uses, including after sticky marinades and glazes.
Best in class silicone: Made from the same premium silicone used across Le Creuset's Craft Tools range, providing durability and easy release of even sticky ingredients from the bristles.

Questions and answers:
Is it easy to clean between the bristles?
Yes. Silicone bristles do not absorb marinades or sauces the way natural or nylon bristles can, so residue releases more easily during washing. The brush is dishwasher safe, and a run through the dishwasher after use with an oily or sticky marinade is usually sufficient for a thorough clean.
Can I use this on the barbecue?
Yes. The silicone is heat resistant to 250 degrees C and is well suited to basting over a hot grill. The shorter bristles give you good control even when working quickly over high heat.
Does it have a removable head like the spatulas?
The source data does not confirm a removable head on the basting brush. The whole brush is dishwasher safe, so disassembly is not necessary for cleaning.
