Norpro Plastic Nylon Baster, 1 EA, Black

Neede to replace my almost 40 yr old Bastet this works great!

Works as advertised. Definitely recommend.

My husband needed a baster that he could dedicate to using to retrieve spilled gasoline & put it back into the snow blower. I gave him one from my kitchen, only to find that he had gotten the last one I had! I went looking at the grocery store & since it is not the holiday season - I COULDN'T FIND A SINGLE ONE! After checking another grocery store, I thought "this is crazy". This was one of the lowest price ones offered through Amazon, so I ordered two. It's nothing special, but nothing terrible either. A baster is a baster, is a baster. Eventually, I either lose one part or the other, or the bulb gets a bit of "dry-rot" around where the two pieces snap together. So, I figured at the price of this one, if it lasts only a few years, it is worth the money. I gave it four stars only because it is nothing special. Somewhere, I think I have a stainless steel baster, that came with a specially shaped brush. That would have gotten five stars; but then, it was probably twice the price or more! There was nothing I wanted to know about this item before purchase. It's an acceptable product.

grabbed this right before thanksgiving because my old one finally gave out and it got us through the whole meal no problem. it sucks up a good amount of liquid and the bulb feels way more durable than the cheap rubber ones on old basters i've had. the tube is long enough that you're not burning your hands reaching into the hot oven which is really all you need.

Perfect. I required a baster with a wide opening and this fit the bill.

As best I can tell, the bulb really is made of silicone rubber. My old baster failed when the natural rubber bulb cracked from age. When the bulb on this baster is installed as pictured in the listing, it can leak very slowly. It could probably be stopped by putting a rubber band around it, but I tried pushing the bulb farther on over and past the stop ring that is supposed to limit how far you push the bulb on. In that configuration, there is no leak at all. I might have been tempted to save a few bucks by buying one of the unbranded clones, but I didn't find one that specified both silicone rubber bulb and nylon (or other high temperature material) tube. The savings isn't enough to offset the risk of getting a lousy product. I already have plenty of cleaning brushes, so including a brush wasn't much of an advantage to me. I'm happy with this.

Good baster.

Does a great job of getting the turkey juice from the pan to make gravy with. Works as expected, doesn't leak. Cleaning is simple, as I pop off the top and put both pieces in the dish washer top rack. When clean, I snap back on and it's ready for the next use.
