PillPack Pharmacy Simplified. Pastry brush handles come in three materials: wood, some version of plastic, and metal.

Wood handles offer a firm grip and are often found with natural bristle brushes. When considering a wooden handle, look for a grip that will sit comfortably in your hand and be sure to think about how you will use it. If you're grilling and basting, a longer handle is needed, but for buttering delicate puff pastry, shorter handles offer more precision.

Wood handles usually aren't dishwasher safe. Plastic handles offer the convenience of being easier to clean and are often, but not always, dishwasher safe.

The other advantage of plastic handles is that they're usually grippier than other choices. Bristles on these types of handles are often molded into the handle, which eliminates issues with bacterial growth, and they tend to be longer lasting than other models.

Less common are brushes with metal handles. They tend to be more expensive and are slippery to grip. Choosing the right tool for the job means taking into account the size. Bristles under 2 inches tend to provide the best combination of coverage and versatility.

Longer bristles offer the ability to reach all the crevices on pastries, such as fruit tarts, but can be hard to maneuver when a more delicate touch is necessary. Shorter bristles lack the swoosh factor of their larger counterparts and cover less area, but can aid in detail work and are the right choice for smaller pastries or doughs.

In addition to bristle length, an important consideration is density of brush head. More bristles means it can grab more liquid, keeping reloads less frequent. But denser bristles often lead to a stiffer brush as well, so it can be a tradeoff. The first thing to do is read your manufacturer instructions.

Beyond that, it becomes about the bristles you chose. Silicone models generally need a quick rinse to remove thick liquids, but then go to the dishwasher.

Natural and most nylon models need more care. If you opt for boar hair bristles, a quick soak in lemon juice and dish soap will break up any accumulated liquid. Then, hand wash and dry them for maximum durability.

Nylon is slightly less labor intensive. A quick hand wash in warm, soapy water should do the trick. Debris left on brushes can harden or turn rancid, so be sure to wash your brushes after each use. Again, this depends on your model. It's easy to tell when a natural bristle brush needs to be replaced—if it's shedding, it's time.

If your brush smells even after washing, it's time for a new brush. Silicone and nylon tend to last longer than natural boar hair, but they can become stained or even melt if you're using them repeatedly in high-heat situations.

Before we even get into the versatility conversation, be sure to designate your brushes for the tasks you use them for to prevent cross contamination. Beyond preventing cross contamination, there are a number of tasks you can accomplish with a pastry brush.

Sealing dough edges, applying egg wash, decorating cakes, greasing pans, brushing cake crumbs off of cake layers and glazing are the most common baking tasks, but here are a few lesser-known jobs the pastry brush is up to: removing extra seasoning on proteins, brushing excess flour from your work area or pans, removing citrus peel from zesters, cleaning errant coffee grounds from grinders or makers, and soaking cakes with syrups.
