Troubleshooting
While the Uniwit silicone basting brushes are designed for durability and ease of use, here are some common points and their solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause / Solution |
|---|---|
| Brush not cleaning easily. | Ensure immediate washing after use, especially with sticky sauces. Soaking in warm soapy water for a few minutes can help loosen stubborn residue. |
| Silicone head feels stiff or brittle. | This is unlikely with food-grade silicone. Ensure the brush has not been exposed to temperatures significantly outside its specified range (-40°C to 250°C). |
| Brush head detaches from handle. | This indicates a manufacturing defect or excessive force. Contact the authorized seller for assistance. |
