This stainless, dripless baster contains a small silicone valve in the tip. This valve keeps juices in the baster until you squeeze the bulb, rather than letting them splash back out into the pan, or onto the bottom of the oven. It also means you can baste any part of the turkey, comfortably and safely. The tip is angled, to better pick up juices. 18/10 stainless tube, silicone bulb, removable tip, dishwasher safe.
