  • The secret to beautiful roasted poultry, served moist and golden brown, is constant basting. But basting isn’t just for turkeys! Master this technique for better scallops, pork chops, chicken, a pot roast or fish!
  • Basting is used to keep meats moist during the cooking process and also to apply or enhance flavor.
  • This tool creates powerful suction to retrieve succulent juices from the pan, melted butter, a marinade, or other sauces you want drizzled over the meat.
  • Heat resistant nylon to 450˚F/230˚C.

I don't eat meat, but this baster works great for my needs. I use it to water my African violets. They like being watered from the bottom tray, not the top of the pot, so the baster makes it easy.

So ... Thanksgiving day and I get out my relatively new clear plastic pricey ($20) baster and hand it to my son who volunteered to baste the bird. A second later I hear "Uh mom, this isn't working (this being said by a 32 year old man)". The bulb would not stay in (when squeezed it popped off) and if you held it on ... it leaked air and so would not suck or hold the basting liquid. To say the timing stunk would be an understatement as my 17# bird wanted a bath BAAAAD. Oh well, duct tape to the rescue and I immediately ordered this baster (which I should have done in the first place) which was basically the same as my 25 year old baster. I used it to cook a turkey breast (for "leftovers") a few days later and it was just perfect - worked like it should. Live and learn ... newfangled fancy does not mean quality and utility.

My last Turkey Baster just made it through Thanksgiving, but with a crack down the side, limiting its functionality (It's been glued and relegated to garage duties though). I bought this to replace it and so far it works exactly as described and expected for a baster to work. At this price I love it and almost wish I had a need for more basters as I love bargains.

Didn't baste any turkeys or chickens but worked great. No issues here. Will be keeping around for future use.

Works perfectly for sucking brake fluid out of a master cylinder! Just in case anyone was wondering...

Best baster you can buy. Bought the expensive stainless alternative and it was a bust. The bulb is what wears out, not the tube. The bulb on the stainless model is soft and comes off all the time, really foolish. This nylon one will last forever and the bulb is snug and well made. Save the bucks and use this one... light, tight, well made.

LOL, really, I think these things have been around since Noah. Preety sure it made it onto the ark. Baster does the job intended but there are other uses besides basting turkeys. I have used it for my sons swimmers ear. Saved me money from going to the clinic for simple fix. I will leave that picture to your imagination. Keep several on hand and one in the medicine cabinet too.

I use this to clean my fish tank and it works perfect I couldn’t ask for a easier tool

I actually use this in my fish tank. Instead of bring my large gravel vacuum out for little clean ups, that can be a hassle. I can spot clean daily with this. I have a 45 gallon female Betta Sorority and I feed my fish repashy gel fish food that sinks to the bottom of the tank and can be a little messy, I also feed them peas a couple times a week to avoid swim bladder/constipation issues. So by using this turkey baster it performs similar to a aquarium vaccum and i’m able to remove the extra uneaten food, live plant debrie and fish waste without having to use my large vaccum with a bucket that would remove more water than needed. This way my tank looks cleaner and will have better water quality because waste isn’t sitting at the bottom creating extra ammonia in the tank.

Just like the one your mom had. Expect it's purple and not that 1970s yellow color . Bulb fits well. Will last a long time. It's a baster, keep it simple!
