Traditional basters are messy-they don't keep the basting juices inside the cylinder once you remove it from the pan. The result is drops of juices that dirty your oven, floors, counters, and clothes. Not so with this dripless turkey baster! The innovative design keeps juices inside and stops messy splashes and spills. The baster feature a silicone valve just inside the tip, which holds juices inside. The contoured bulb fits comfortably in the palm of your hand and is made from food-grade silicone, so it's heat resistant to 800 degrees Fahrenheit and won't crack like traditional rubber basters. The cylinder is made from durable clear polycarbonate and the nylon tip is heat resistant to over 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Tip is removable for easy cleaning and the entire baster is dishwasher safe. Comes with extra tip and cleaning brush.
