Outset Silicone Sauce Mop — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Outset Silicone Sauce Mop?
The Outset Silicone Sauce Mop (also called a “sop mop” or basting mop) is a barbecue tool with heat-resistant silicone bristles and a rosewood handle. It comes with a removable, twist-off head so you can easily clean or replace it.
What are its key features and specs?
Some of the standout features include:
- Heat resistance up to about 500 °F (260 °C)
- Silicone bristles with small nubs that hold extra sauce for better coverage
- Removable twist-off head for dishwasher safety and easier cleaning
- Rosewood handle that offers a classic look and comfortable grip
- Total length around 15″ (including handle and head)
How do I use the Outset Silicone Sauce Mop effectively?
Dip the mop into your sauce, glaze, or marinade, then sweep it over meat or vegetables on the grill. The silicone nubs help release the sauce more evenly. For sticky or caramelized sauces, you may need multiple passes. Because the bristles are heat resistant, you can use it while cooking (within its temperature limit). After use, twist off the head and place it in the dishwasher (or hand wash) while the handle can be cleaned separately.
Is the mop safe and durable?
Yes — the silicone is stain-resistant and designed to withstand high heat (up to ~500 °F). Its rosewood handle is durable but should be kept away from direct flame or excessive heat to preserve its finish. The detachable head helps protect the handle from exposure during cleaning.
How do I clean and maintain this mop?
After finishing your grilling session:
- Twist off the mop head from the handle.
- Place the silicone head into the dishwasher or wash with warm soapy water.
- Wipe the rosewood handle with a damp cloth (avoid soaking it).
- Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent moisture damage.
Because the head is removable, you can keep the handle safe and dry, which helps extend its life.
What is the warranty or return policy?
The product is sold by ATBBQ, which generally accepts returns for unused items within their return window. As for manufacturer warranty, it would depend on Outset’s policies. Always check the retailer’s and manufacturer’s warranty disclosures on the product page or your receipt for full details.
