KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core Birchwood Silicone Empire Red 31 cm - Basting Brush

Forget bristles that fall into your pastry, uneven coatings that ruin your glaze, or paper towels that just make a mess - with the KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core in Empire Red, you coat, baste, and glaze with total confidence. This is the brush you actually reach for every time, because it works exactly the way it should, looks great on your counter, and keeps delivering for years to come.

Why This Brush Is Different From Every Other One You've Tried

A pastry brush might sound like the most straightforward tool in your kitchen, but the quality of it shows up every single time you use it. A floppy brush that drips marinade everywhere, bristles that shed into your croissant dough, a handle that gets slippery the moment things heat up - sound familiar? The KitchenAid Core Pastry Brush solves all of that in one elegant, no-nonsense package.

• Precision coating every time - The 56 mm silicone brush head holds just the right amount of liquid and releases it evenly, so your egg wash lands exactly where you want it.
• Heat-resistant up to 260°C - Basting a roast? Grilling glazed ribs? This brush handles serious heat without warping, melting, or losing its shape.
• No more stray bristles - Silicone doesn't shed. Ever. No picking hairs out of your tart. No second-guessing. Just clean, precise application.
• Comfortable birch handle - The natural birch wood gives you a warm, solid grip that feels balanced in your hand - not plastic, not flimsy.
• Built-in hanging hook - The stainless steel hook means this brush earns a permanent spot on your kitchen rail, always within reach when you need it.
• 2-year guarantee - KitchenAid backs this brush with a two-year warranty, because tools this well-made are built to last.

Silicone and Birch: A Combination That Actually Makes Sense

The Core Pastry Brush is made from two materials that do very different jobs, and both do them brilliantly. The silicone brush head is flexible enough to get into corners, firm enough to apply pressure when you're basting a whole chicken, and completely non-porous so it doesn't absorb flavors or stain. You can use it with oil, butter, egg wash, honey, barbecue sauce, or anything else your recipe calls for - it performs the same way every time.

The handle is crafted from natural birch, one of the most traditionally trusted woods in kitchenware. It's smooth, it's lightweight at just 85 grams, and it doesn't feel cold or clinical the way a fully synthetic handle can. When you're baking on a Sunday morning or basting at the grill on a summer evening, the warmth of natural wood in your hand just feels right. This is a brush that's a pleasure to hold - not just a tool to grab.

From Oven to Grill, From Glaze to Marinade

What makes the KitchenAid Core Pastry Brush genuinely versatile is that it moves effortlessly between every cooking moment. Paint egg wash over croissants before they go into the oven. Brush garlic butter over fresh bread the moment it comes out. Glaze a tart with apricot jam for that gorgeous, glossy finish. Baste a rack of ribs with your best smoky sauce while they sizzle on the grill. Apply olive oil to roasted vegetables with even coverage across every surface. This brush handles all of it - and at 31 cm total length, it keeps your hand a safe distance from the heat while you work.

The 260°C heat resistance isn't just a spec on a sheet - it means you can actually use this brush right at the grill or in front of a hot oven without worrying about the silicone degrading. That kind of reliability makes cooking feel effortless, because you're not second-guessing your tools. You're just cooking.

Empire Red: A Color Worth Showing Off

Let's be honest - Empire Red is a statement. The bold, deep red of this brush makes it one of those kitchen pieces that doesn't hide in a drawer. It's part of the KitchenAid Core collection, designed to look cohesive whether you display it on a hanging rack, tuck it in a utensil jar, or lay it on your counter between uses. If you already have KitchenAid appliances in your kitchen, this brush clicks right into that visual identity. If you don't, it simply looks striking on its own.

Kitchen tools don't have to be purely functional. The best ones are the ones you actually enjoy using - and a brush that looks this good is one you'll reach for without a second thought.

💡 Tip: After use, rinse the silicone head under warm water immediately - because silicone is non-porous, most residues rinse off in seconds. For a deeper clean, a drop of dish soap and a quick scrub is all it takes. Hand wash only to preserve the natural birch handle, and hang it on the built-in stainless steel hook to dry properly between uses.
