Designed to withstand the heat of direct contact with a red-hot grill, this sleek and beautiful basting brush is perfect for brushing oil or marinade on food when cooking on a grill. The challenge of finding a material that wouldn’t be destroyed by extreme heat was met by using metal springs which “absorb” and then spread oil. Each spring has been constructed so that a force is constantly contracting it, ensuring that each one remains straight. When brushing, the springs bend and “open” to release the oil inside.
