Customer Reviews of Oxo Good Grips Turkey Baster with Cleaning Brush
Customer Rating:   Summary: Can't take the heat, keep it out of the kitchen Comment: Up until now I've had good luck with Oxo products -- thought I'd like this initially, easy to get the bulb on and off, great cleaning with that brush. BUT. The tip drips much worse than basters I've used in past, the bulb pops off occasionally when using -- there's a mess. Today is the worst: using it to siphon off fat from roasting short ribs, THE PLASTIC TUBE STARTED MELTING. The clear plastic part actually started to curve, and the tip melted together almost shut. Had to throw it away. Just ordered the Tovolo here, which had good reviews. Customer Rating: Summary: Remarkably good suction! Comment: The action of this baster & cleaning brush SO far surpassed my expectations that I would be hard pressed to ever try another! Customer Rating: Summary: Horrible! Comment: I thought I would buy a more expensive baster than your typical "dollar store" basters, in hopes that it would work better. This baster is horrible! The top piece kept popping off the "tube". I was trying to baste my turkey Thanksgiving morning when this happened and needless to say, I had a mess all over my oven and also burned myself with the hot juices when this thing decided to let go. Customer Rating: Summary: Bulb & Collar pop off constantly Comment: Okay, I know I'm just "bumping" what others have stated, but the more the reviews, the better. This is my very first OXO disappointment. I have many other OXO products (I'm kind of an OXO junkie in fact). The collar slides down the basting tube into the roasting pan, then the bulb pops off causing the tube to fall into the pan as well. Ucky, messy, greasy, and dangerous to retrieve out of a hot metal roasting pan! The cleaning brush is nice. I'll keep for the replacement I'm going to need to find for Thanksgiving next week! Customer Rating: Summary: Save your money! Comment: The OXO Good Grips Baster is poorly designed and likely subject to wide manufacturing standards. Mine disassembled and assembled easily when following the instructions (to ease in cleaning), but the bulb does not fit snugly enough to prevent air from entering the top of the unit. Even with the collar snapped into place air leaked in and allowed liquid to drip out. (The size of the hole is normal and is not the problem as reported by another reviewer.) Loose manufacturing tolerances probably allows for some to come through without significant air leakage. Do you feel lucky? I replaced it with a $1.69 supermarket baster which works great. Except for the cleaning brush I threw the thing out. More Reviews For holidays and all year round, baste with ease with the OXO GOOD GRIPS Turkey Baster. Our unique bulb shape and collar make it easy to grip the Baster two different ways for maximum comfort and control. And the bulb is flat to prevent the Baster from rolling on the countertop. The Baster tube is made of crack resistant, high heat plastic for superior performance. Stardard and metric measurement markings make it easy to see how much liquid is in the Baster. 
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwasher Choose a dishwasher with sturdy compression springs in the door. Also look for tough, lightweight nylon or graphite racks with cushioned tips that protect glassware and cookware. Weimer recommends choosing a model with a rack design that provides the largest, most flexible interior space and is configured for your belongings, including odd-shaped pieces. Choosing Appliance -> Convection Ovens Convection ovens allow you to bake more foods (cookies, muffins, etc.) at once with even browning, but without the need to shift and rotate pans. A convection oven is the same as a conventional oven except a fan is installed in the back interior of the oven. The fan is used to blow and force the heat to circulate in the oven and around the food, thus eliminating the need to rotate and shift pans. In reality, though, even with the most expensive convection ovens, you will still need to rotate your foods, because there will always exist still hot spots in the cavity, because the cavity is small. Don't compare home convection ovens with most commercial convection ovens used by bakers and small food manufacturers, because their commercial ovens are much larger than home ovens and commercial ovens don't have any hot spots and therefore, there's no need to shift and rotate pans.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Cleaning & Maintenance Oven Never use a scouring pad of any sort to remove stubborn stains or soiled areas, since these pads scratch the finish and any future soiled areas won't clean up as well, especially with the self-cleaning models. When the oven is cool to the touch, place a cloth or sponge, dampened with warm to hot tap water, onto the soiled area and allow it to sit, for about ten minutes or so, to help loosen the soil. |
