The extra long handle of this silicone basting brush keeps plenty of distance between you and the heat coming from the grill. The angle of the brush makes it easy to use and to reach the foods on the back of the grill. Since it is made of silicone, the brush is heat resistant (up to 500 degrees), so it won't singe or burn. The handy loop on the handle makes for convenient storage. And because the brush is dishwasher safe, there are no worries about bacteria. The barbeque basting brush is 15" in length.
