KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core birchwood Empire Red 22 cm - Basting Brush

That cheap brush with bristles falling into your glaze, your marinade smeared in all the wrong places, and half the sauce ending up on your fingers instead of your food? It's time to retire it for good. The KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core in Kaiser Red shows you exactly how a basting brush should work: even, precise, and comfortable to hold - even after you've been at it for a while. This is the kind of tool that quietly earns its place in your kitchen, every single time you reach for it.

Why This Brush Changes the Way You Cook

A great basting brush isn't just a nice-to-have - it's the difference between a golden, evenly glazed tart and a patchy, underwhelming one. Between fall-off-the-bone ribs dripping with your secret barbecue sauce and dry, sad ones that never quite made it. The KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core gives you control, precision, and confidence - whether you're brushing egg wash on pastry, basting a roast chicken, or coating vegetables with herbed butter before they go into the oven.

• Even coverage, every time - Silicone bristles spread sauces, glazes, and oils smoothly and consistently, so every corner gets the attention it deserves
• No stray bristles in your food - Forget the horror of fishing a rogue bristle out of your freshly glazed pie - silicone stays put, always
• Heat-resistant up to 260°C - Brush directly onto hot surfaces, onto grills, and into the oven without a second thought
• Comfortable wooden handle - The natural wood core sits beautifully in your hand, giving you the grip and control you need without fatigue
• Easy to clean - Silicone bristles rinse clean in seconds - no sauce hiding in stubborn natural bristles
• Built-in stainless steel hanging hook - Hang it up within easy reach and it becomes part of your kitchen aesthetic, not just a drawer filler

Silicone Meets Wood - The Best of Both Worlds

The KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core is built around a smart pairing: a smooth, natural wood handle that feels warm and solid in your hand, combined with flexible, food-safe silicone bristles that do the actual work. That combination is no accident. Wood gives you the grip, the weight distribution, and the premium feel that cheap plastic handles simply can't replicate. Silicone gives you the hygiene, the heat resistance, and the easy clean-up that old-fashioned natural bristle brushes can't compete with.

At 22 cm in length, the brush gives you enough reach to baste a large joint of meat in the oven or get deep into a roasting tin without burning your hand. At just 48 grams, it's light enough to use comfortably during longer cooking sessions. And at 42 mm wide, the bristle head covers generous surface area without becoming unwieldy. This is a brush that's been thought through - not just designed to look good on a shelf.

From Breakfast to Barbecue - One Brush for Every Moment

Think about how many times a good basting brush actually comes in handy in a week of real cooking. Brushing a tarte tatin with apricot glaze before it goes under the grill. Lacquering sticky ribs with layer after layer of smoky sauce. Coating a homemade loaf with melted butter the second it comes out of the oven so the crust goes perfectly golden and soft. Greasing a waffle iron before the batter goes in. Brushing olive oil onto flatbreads before they hit the grill. Finishing a roast leg of lamb with herb-infused fat for that last burst of flavour.

The Kaiser Red colour isn't just a bold design choice - it's a signal. This is a KitchenAid tool that belongs in your kitchen, alongside your mixer, your pots, your pans. It's part of a collection that takes cooking seriously, without taking itself too seriously. A little knipoog to the joy of cooking well.

And when you're done? Rinse it under the tap, hang it from the stainless steel hook, and it's ready for the next session. Simple, no-nonsense, reliable.

💡 Tip: For the best glaze on pastry, warm your egg wash slightly before brushing - it flows more easily and gives you that deep, even golden colour that looks like it came straight from a professional bakery. Use the KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core in smooth, even strokes from the centre outward for a flawless finish every time.

Quality That Goes the Distance

KitchenAid is a brand that doesn't cut corners - and that philosophy extends to every tool in the Core collection, right down to a basting brush. The 2-year guarantee is your assurance that this brush is built to last, not built to be replaced next season. The silicone bristles won't warp, melt, or shed. The wood handle won't crack or splinter with regular use. This is a tool you buy once and reach for for years.

At Cookinglife, we believe quality doesn't have to mean complicated. It means smart choices, durable materials, and tools that genuinely make cooking more enjoyable. The KitchenAid Pastry Brush Core is exactly that - a small investment that pays off in every dish you serve.
