Best Meat & Poultry Basters of 2025

"This Good Cook Turkey Baster is a no-fuss, all-baste beast! It’s simple, does the job, and comes apart easily for cleaning—because nobody wants to spend Thanksgiving scrubbing turkey juice out of weird corners. Bonus: it also doubles as a water gun for kitchen battles when the gravy-making stress kicks in. Highly recommend for turkeys and emergency fun!"

"I’ve been using this for a while, and it really holds up much better than those clear transparent types that easily crack. I definitely recommend this product!"

"The function of the baster is fine. It does a good job of what it’s supposed to do. However, I've noticed that if the liquid is very hot, the bulb may pop off during use. Cleaning it has been a bit of a hassle, especially towards the tip. Despite my efforts, it’s really tough to clean, so I’ve put it aside for non-food uses and bought a glass baster instead. I think it would work better with just cold liquids!"

“I needed a new baster, and I’m thrilled with this one! It's hefty and well-made, plus a cleaning brush came with it. Who does that?”

“I decided to buy a metal baster since we've been tossing plastic ones for years. My husband found it simple to use and clean, and it actually lasted! I’m excited to recommend it to my daughter for Christmas.”

“I bought this to baste my turkey during the holidays, and it was just what I needed. The packaging and material are beautiful, and I love how everything fits together for storage.”

"I am really impressed with this product. It works great and is well-made. My grandma would be proud!"

"Using this baster for my turkey was a success! It held the juices well and was easy to clean since the top comes off."

"I bought this baster for my smoker to empty the water pan. It takes a few slurps, but it gets the job done perfectly—no more soggy shoes!"

“I used it on hot bacon grease and it worked great. It didn’t melt or crack like my previous plastic one from Walmart. This one is really durable!”

“I was expecting a smaller size but received a nice-sized baster made of high quality material. It doesn’t feel cheaply made, and I plan to use it for my turkey this Thanksgiving. I highly recommend it!”

“This baster is perfect for cleaning up fish tank debris! It doesn’t drip after suctioning and disposing of the waste. I’m very pleased with its performance as a fish tank cleaner! I bet it will work just as well for turkey too!”

"I needed a new turkey baster since my old one was falling apart. Oxo is a brand I trust, and this baster exceeded my expectations! It works wonderfully and the included cleaning brush was a nice surprise, making it easy to keep clean."

"I love this baster! It doesn't roll off the counter, and the angled tip prevents messes. I also appreciate the easy-clean feature. Why aren’t all basters like this?"

"After hosting Thanksgiving, I realized how outdated my mom's baster was. We decided to upgrade to this one, and the build quality feels solid. The removable tip will help us get every last drop of juice to baste our turkey. Mom had a good laugh about it!"

"I love how quickly it delivered, and the package was in great shape. The included cleaning brush is a nice touch, and I've found it very easy to use. So far, the squeeze bulb is tight and doesn't leak, which is a relief compared to other basters I've owned. Overall, I'm really happy with this well-made kitchen tool!"

"After my old baster broke during Christmas dinner, I found the U-Taste 1.5oz Angled Turkey Baster online and got it right away. This baster is fantastic! The angled design allows me to draw turkey juices without dripping grease everywhere. Plus, it withstands high temperatures! I tried it out, and it worked beautifully. I'm very pleased and would highly recommend it!"

"I've used many basters, but this one is by far the best! It holds liquid perfectly, allowing me to baste my turkey without any mess. The large diameter pipette means no clogs, and I love that it doesn't leak. Overall, I'm thrilled with its functionality and happy I discovered this product!"

"I find this baster to be very sturdy and it works well for my needs. The added cleaner is a nice bonus!"

"I've used this for removing fluids in automotive work. It feels strong and durable."

"I was surprised by the price; I expected a cheap plastic option, but this nylon baster is great and doesn't leak!"

"I’m using it to transfer hot liquids between containers, and it’s held up well. Great product!"

"I love this! I’m trying to reduce plastic use in my life, but I wish it had metric calibrations too."

"I really wanted a glass baster because it’s much easier to clean than the plastic version I tossed. I’m a bit concerned about the glass and my granite sink, so I’ll need to be careful when cleaning. The suction on this device is really good. I’m very pleased thus far."

"I waited until after Thanksgiving to write this review. I only use this baster once a year, but it's great! It's made of really sturdy plastic and durable rubber. It even came with a spare tip and a little cleaning brush. I don’t know if it was a fluke, but mine made a soft 'poot poot' fart sound, which could lead to some fun jokes!"

"This baster is fantastic! It fully retains everything I gather from my roasting pans and allows me to easily disperse it onto my roasts. It's also easy to clean, and the strong suction is the best I've experienced with any baster."

"I absolutely love this baster! We've purchased three over the last 15 years because we use it so often—about once a week, not just for Thanksgiving. While they don’t last forever, they're reasonably priced, and I’m always happy to replace it when needed."

"I find this baster to be excellent quality. It washes nicely and performs exceptionally well."

"I appreciate the metal tube and the included injector needles. I haven't used it yet, but I'm excited. The plastic ones melted in hot liquids, but I know this one won't."

"This baster is stainless steel and incredibly easy to use. I highly recommend it!"
