Paint brushes:

I keep several cheap paint brushes around (around 1" +/-) to brush out or
wash items that have crevices. Yesterday I used one to brush out the
grinder that had fine coffee in it. I also used it to brush out cinnamon
from the top of a foodsaver sealer; otherwise, I think I'd had to have used
that sealer only for cinnamon. I have also used a cheap brush to brush on
anything oily onto meat, then totally discarded the brush; butter onto
phyllo, etc. Now that I have bought some plastic brushes (Ikea) I don't use
the hair brushes as much; they are in disfavor in my kitchen along with
wooden spoons - I prefer the high-temperature rubber-type spatulas.
