Turkey Baster, Basting Brush, and Flavor Injectors (and Cleaning Brushes) in One Compact Design
This past Thanksgiving, I realized at the worst and last possible moment that I had forgotten to buy a new turkey baster. All the stores were closed, and I had thrown my old one out the year before after it got greasy and gross from soaking in the roasting pan. So when I had the opportunity to order this one for review, I didn’t hesitate.I was pleasantly surprised by how much it includes. It comes with two metal flavor injectors, a silicone basting tip, and, best of all, two different sized cleaning brushes. Everything stores neatly inside the baster itself, which is a huge plus for me. I have a small kitchen with very limited storage, and I really don’t have room for extra gadgets floating around, so the compact design is perfect.The quality feels very solid. I haven’t used it on food yet, but I did test it with water and the suction works beautifully. I also really appreciate that all of these tools are included together. Usually, you have to buy a baster, injectors, and a basting brush separately. At $9.99 at the time of this review, it feels like a great value.The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is the lack of product and company information. It arrived in a plain, nondescript clear plastic bag with no tag or paperwork, and there’s no company name, contact information, or branding included. It also doesn’t clearly state on the product itself whether the plastic is BPA-free or if the silicone is food-grade. I did find that information in the listing, which states that it is BPA-free, food-grade silicone, and heat-resistant up to 248°F, but I really wish that information was clearly labeled on the product or packaging.Overall, this would easily be a 5 star item if the labeling and company information were more transparent. I’m very happy with the design and functionality, but I did deduct one star for that reason.
