The Matfer Bourgeat high heat silicone cooking brush is a practical, everyday pastry and kitchen tool designed for use across a wide range of basting, glazing, and coating tasks. The silicone bristles are heat resistant, making the brush suitable for applying marinades to hot meats, egg washing pastry, glazing confectionery, and brushing sauces directly onto food during cooking or plating.

In a working kitchen, silicone brushes like this one hold up better than traditional natural bristle alternatives. There are no loose bristles to shed into food, the brush retains its shape with repeated use, and the silicone construction does not absorb flavours or odours between uses. The 19cm length gives a reasonable reach when working over hot pans or trays, keeping hands at a comfortable distance from heat sources.

  • Suitable for both heavy basting tasks and more delicate pastry and confectionery work
  • Silicone bristles resist heat and retain their shape over time
  • No bristle shedding — reduces contamination risk in food preparation
  • Dishwasher safe, supporting quick turnaround between uses
  • Hanging hole in the handle for tidy storage on a utensil rail

This is a relatively lightweight, single-function tool, so suitability is straightforward. It works well in any kitchen environment where glazing, basting, or sauce application forms part of regular service — from bakery production to grill stations. For sites with very high-volume continuous use, a heavier construction or a larger brush head may be worth considering.

If you are building out a smallwares kit and want to make sure you have the right tools for your specific production style, the team is happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is this brush suitable for use directly over an open flame or very high heat?

The silicone bristles are heat resistant and designed for high temperature kitchen use, including basting over hot pans and trays. That said, prolonged direct contact with an open flame is best avoided, as with most silicone utensils — standard oven and grill station use is well within its intended range.

How does a silicone brush compare to a traditional pastry brush for delicate glazing work?

Silicone bristles are slightly firmer than natural bristle, which suits most basting and glazing tasks well. For very delicate applications such as fine sugar work, some pastry chefs prefer a softer natural bristle brush. For general pastry glazing, egg washing, and sauce application, the silicone construction is practical and easy to keep clean.

Is it worth buying multiple brushes to avoid cross-contamination between savoury and sweet use?

In a busy kitchen where the brush moves between savoury marinades and pastry glazing within the same service, having a dedicated brush per use is sensible practice. Silicone does not absorb flavours, but having separate brushes supports cleaner workflow and reduces the risk of taste transfer, particularly in bakery or patisserie environments.
