HIC Roasting’s Turkey Baster is an invaluable addition to cooking utensils and chef tools to keep foods moist and juicy. Basting helps foods cook to a golden brown outside and remain moist and juicy inside. It’s the ideal cooking technique when foods are exposed to heat for prolonged periods of time, like roasting, grilling, rotisserie, and other slow cooking methods. The Baster tube and injector tip are made from 18/8 stainless steel to be sturdy, durable and resistant to rust. The squeeze bulb is made from heat-resistant silicone (to 500-degrees Fahrenheit) with a safety grip that offers a secure grasp while keeping fingers away from hot contents. Simply squeeze the silicone bulb and submerge the tip of the tube into the basting liquid. Slowly release the bulb to draw in liquid. Reposition baster over the food and slowly squeeze the bulb to release the liquid. The injector tip adds layers of flavor below the surface and directly into the meat. It comfortably holds 2-ounces of broth, stock, au jus, marinade, glaze and more. For juicy baked chicken and cooking turkey and other oven roasted poultry, baste with a mixture of melted butter and wine, or cider. For tenderizing meat, baste poultry and pork, beef, game, and fish to keep moisture in and maximize flavor. Inject oven roast meat with meat marinade sauce or use BBQ marinade for steaks on the grill. Baste spiral ham, apples, or baby carrots with a glaze or make honey glazed salmon. It also works nicely for siphoning liquids from sauces for a thicker consistency and fat drippings from roasting pans for low-calorie meals and healthy cooking. Made from 18/8 stainless steel and silicone, HIC Roasting’s Baster disassembles for a thorough cleaning. The cleaning brush and injector tip conveniently store inside the baster tube when not in use.
