Often, a basting brush comes with a basting pot, a special pot designed to hold the marinade and the basting brush. A niche in the pot keeps the basting brush stable, and the pot is usually meant to hold hot marinades. (wiseGEEK)

Marinades and sauces can add just the right punch to an otherwise bland meal. The Adjustable Basting Brush adjusts for complete basting coverage and a 13" long handle makes the brush comfortable to hold. ()

You would think that buying a basting brush doesn't need much thought but you would be surprised. Did you know that they can harbour bacteria? Everytime you baste meat with marinade, your brush is touching raw meat or poultry. (greatfood.ie)
