Amazing quality

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.

I love this baster it works great!! The bulb isn't made out of a cheap plastic like most basters are, this one has a heavy duty bulb that fits snuggly to the body.I like that it has a stainless steel body and not some cheap plastic that cracks after the first use. Which I've had happen with the last 3 basters I've purchased.The included marinade injector tip really comes in handy!! Its nice that its threaded and screws into the body of the baster and doesn't simply slip over the tip like some do. The cleaning brush that comes with it is nice too.I would have given it 5 stars but I took off one point bc there were two issues with the cleaning brush.One the loop on the top of the cleaning brush is entirely too small! Its less than a ¼ of a inch in diameter. Which is too small to put a finger in to help with grip when cleaning.The second is the tip of the brush where the bristles at isn't covered so its just sharp edges that can cut into to the body or bulb of the baster when cleaning it. I just mixed up some two part epoxy and dipped the tip of it into it to give the brush a rubberized tip to prevent damage to the unit.But I'm still very happy with the performance of the product!!!

I ordered this to replace one of those 'bargain store' cheap plastic ones. I mainly use a baster to remove grease from things like meat loaf, etc. Even when I cleaned the plastic ones (I've had several) right away, it seemed like they never got completely clean. Not so with this one. I has the typical Norpro high quality construction, and is a breeze to operate. I have used it both with and without the screw-on needle, and it works either way. A hint: Using it without the needle works great while there is a large quantity of grease/liquid to suck up. Once one gets down to the dregs, screw the needle in and one is able to suck up almost all of the liquid. And cleaning is a snap. Rinsing with some hot water seems to just flush any liquids away that may be clinging to the metal.Although I have never used this to inject flavoring/seasoning into a roast or turkey, I believe it would work very well. The injection needle is very sharp, and the all metal construction means that there should be no problem piercing the meat so one's solution can be injected properly.And best of all - this only costs about twice as much as those cheap plastic basters, for a much higher quality device.

I have had so many brands of basters and this one is by far the best! It works awesome, is super easy to clean and I love that it comes in a two pack.

very high-quality silicone bulb, no planned obsolescence here.
