Is Basting Brush dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Basting brushes are generally not recommended for the dishwasher.
Why
Most basting brushes have wooden handles that can crack or warp in the dishwasher's heat and moisture. Silicone brushes may be dishwasher safe, but the bristles can trap food and the handle may still be damaged. Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
How to wash it
Hand wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. For silicone brushes, ensure all food residue is removed from between bristles.
