FAQs
Is the Chef Aid Pastry Brush dishwasher safe?
No, it should be hand washed only to prevent damage to the wooden handle and bristles.
Can this brush be used for hot liquids?
Yes, it is designed to handle common baking liquids like butter and glazes, though you should avoid leaving the brush inside a very hot oven or on a direct flame.
What are the dimensions of the brush?
The brush measures approximately 29 x 7 x 2cm.
Are the bristles synthetic or natural?
This brush features pure, soft bristles designed for gentle application.
How should I store the brush?
Store in a dry place. Ideally, hang it by the handle to ensure the bristles do not bend or misshape while stored.
Troubleshooting
Bristles feel stiff or clumped after use
Wash the bristles thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove residual oils or egg wash, then comb through them gently and allow them to air dry.
Bristles are shedding
Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure when brushing. Light, sweeping strokes are sufficient for most glazes and liquids.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no setup; it is ready to use straight out of the packaging. To maintain the integrity of the wooden handle and the quality of the natural bristles, avoid soaking the brush in water for extended periods. Instead, clean the bristles immediately after use with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and hang the brush by the handle to air dry completely. Do not place this item in a dishwasher, as high heat and detergent will damage the wood and degrade the bristles over time.
