GoodCook Everyday Baster

Use this to make cooking in the oven safer

Regular baster

Works great for fish tank cleaning. Head comes off a bit easily.

I'm not sure I should be doing a review on this, but I will anyway. This is an excellent baster, easy to clean, and the price is great. Great for cooking. The "but" here is because that is not what I am using it for. I water my smaller and more delicate plants with this. I can get the water exactly where I want it without wetting leaves. It's great for my small plants and dish gardens. It would be useful in terrariums too. For plant and food use - it holds the liquid well and nothing leaks out and and you can empty the whole thing easily if you want.

Perfect master at a reasonable price

The function of the baster is fine. It does a good job of doing what it's supposed to do. However, if the liquid being removed is very very hot then by the third usage on the hot liquid the bulb will pop off when you squeeze the bulb to pull in more liquid. Then there is the cleaning. We used the baster the most when we baked chicken pieces in the oven. The baster was used to remove all the liquid in the baking tray. The baster is impossible to clean, especially towards the tip. By hand with multiple brushes, dishwasher with bottle jets, soaking it super hot water, using it on plain boiling water. Nothing gets the syringe clean. We have put the baster in the workshop to use on non-food things and we have bought a glass baster to replace this one.I cannot corroborate this as I do not have one of these basters in pristine condition, but I'm guessing that if the baster is used only with cold liquids then it should work perfectly fine. The bulb shouldn't pop off and cleaning should be a breeze.

as you are all aware, the turkey baster was invented in 1845 by thomas baster and "hopscotch", his turkey friend/ally. using eels to extract water from containers was becoming impractical and breeding animosity of the eel government, as it constituted "eel rights violations".as a result, baster and "hopscotch" immediately started the blueprints on a technological alternative in a humble basement in fremont, california. success was immediate, as the turkey baster was a huge hit. people went nuts over its ease of cleaning, thickness and red color. t-shirts were made, and monuments were erected in its honor. yes, mr baster was a national celebrity, and so was his turkey ally.years after its invention however, when "turkey baster & associates" went public, "hopscotch" decided to rugpull investors by selling all his shares immediately before suggesting that a bike pump could be used in a similar manner.could it? that's irrelevant.the bottom line is, investors took the bait. it took centuries before the truth was revealed and mr baster was left with a bag for the rest of his life. i intend to restore the sanctity of his legacy by sharing this story with all of younow, onto the baster. the build quality is excellent; i expect this baster will last several generations and have the intention of eventually passing it down to my robot children. the storage capacity is acceptable, although I would've really appreciated upping it to a gallon.an irrelevant, yet additional benefit is that it also can scare a mountain lion away if it is seen from the correct angle. i have yet to discover what that angle isnow, the caveat... because I am introverted, the attention I receive while carrying this turkey baster around is debatably unbearable. ladies approach me and men respect me. they wish to know my secret. I have received 20 ladies numbers upon purchasing this turkey baster. despite the fact that I am married, my wife is okay with this too. she sees it as an "inevitable result of self-improvement".yes, others see me as an honest person who still enjoys the finer things in life - a man who is unwilling to compromise. they see that I have good taste. again, if you're an extrovert, this will be an additional benefit, but i am not and only purchased this to extract liquid from containersto conclude, this turkey baster has effectively changed my life. people now call me something other than "deadbeat". I hope this red turkey baster affects yours in a similar manner (if applicable)
