Well-made and useful.There are three main options when it comes to basters: Plastic, Glass or Metal. Plastics are cheap, and it’s possible with most to see the fluid level, but they can be damaged by exposure to high temperatures (like accidentally resting on a hot metal rack) and the plastic can undergo deterioration over time. Glass is transparent, so it’s easy to monitor the fluid level, and the heat-tolerant types of glass (Pyrex, Kimax, etc.) withstand high temperatures, but can still be shattered by sudden drastic changes in temperature shifts or impact with hard surfaces and is generally more expensive than plastic. Metal is opaque, so it is hard to judge how much liquid is in them except by weight and experience, and metal conducts heat much better even than glass, so you need to be careful not to touch the barrel when you’re using them with oven-temperature liquid, but they are nearly indestructible unless you somehow manage to drop something very heavy on them.One issue they ALL share is that the bulb, the injector (if they have one) and the barrel are made of dissimilar materials with different rates of temperature-related expansion and contraction, so that ANY of them can leak at the point of connection. Metal in particular, because it conducts heat so well, can cause room-temperature air trapped above the liquid to heat rapidly and expand, forcing the liquid out through the tip. When basting with hot liquids, it is a good idea ALWAYS to “pump” the liquid in and out of the baster a few times to give the trapped air time to heat to the temperature of the liquid BEFORE removing the tip from the pan. And of course, NEVER invert the baster of allow hot liquid to enter the bulb in use, because (besides burning the hand holding the baster), that can cause an very unwelcome fountain of hot basting liquid that can even penetrate oven mitts and potholders.

I bought this over the usual plastic baster solely because it was the only one on Amazon that would arrive in time for when I needed it. I was under quarantine and couldn’t get to the store, which is why I bought one on Amazon.This baster does its job well. The suction was really good, better than plastic basters I’ve used before. I was using this to remove the rendered fat from a goose, which can be messy business. As long as I didn’t tilt it to the side, I didn’t have to worry about more than a few drips as I transferred to a container. If I did tilt the baster to the side, the liquid poured out, but all basters do that.Cleanup was easy, just pop the bulb off and hose it out. Though I just threw mine in the dishwasher, the bulb on a spine in the top rack and the metal part on a spine in the bottom rack. I didn’t need the brush this time around, but it will be helpful scrubbing out anything that gets stuck on. Because the tube is metal, it can get really hot depending on what you’re doing with it. Just be careful to touch only the bulb and not do what I did, which was repeatedly grabbing the middle of it when I picked it up, despite having done the same thing before with painful results.The only thing I would change about this is a cap for the marinade injector. I have it attached to the baster in storage, but I’d rather store it separately since the whole assembly is too long to fit in my utensil drawer. Without a cap, it’s a stabby danger to any fingers rooting around in the utensil drawer.

After getting seriously tired of plastic basters eventually accumulating residue no matter what I do to clean them, I decided to go with a non-porous material. The options are basically glass or stainless steel. Glass was a non-starter because I don’t want to be handling my kitchen tools with kid gloves to avoid breaking them. This baster has been outstanding. I rinse it with hot soapy water immediately after use (just suck up the soapy water and shoot it back into the container a bunch of times) and then I run it through the dishwasher. After a fair amount of use, I also will put it and the bulb into a small ultrasonic bath, but this is unnecessary, really.The steel basting tube is well made and will stand up to a lifetime of kitchen use. The injection needle is nice and will work well for as long as you don’t lose it. The bulb is heavy silicone rubber and should last for years and years.All told, I’m very happy with this purchase.

I use this as a wine thief for testing my mead and the first thing I noticed is that when liquid gets into the bulb area it does not quickly drain. I imagine this would be the same for any turkey baster, so I can’t really complain too much. It’s more an issue for me as it relates to cleaning it in-between uses. Fortunately, you can remove the bulb when cleaning, something that was not obvious to me at first. Perhaps it’s one of those common knowledge things that I don’t figure out for years, lol. In any case, if you’re like me and didn’t know you could remove the bulb, you can. It’s also a great piece of equipment for what I use it for. Worth the money, definitely.

Sometime there isn’t enought stiffness in the rubber bulb to bounce back and suck up liquid when it softens after getting hot. Great quality metal on everthing else. Just needs a little stiffer rubber on the bulb to work better.

This beats the plastic ones anyway. I can put it in the dishwasher and it actually gets clean. It doesnβt have a greasy residue like the plastic ones. It can be scrubbed if need be and it comes clean.

I used it for thanksgiving. Injected my turkey and then used it to baste it also. Easy to clean with the brush it comes with.

The baster is sturdy and good quality but functionally it is fair. The bulb is a little loose so it sprays or drips out when you release and lift the tip. About 1/2 the fluid stays in. Itβs ok at best. Still looking
