Product Information
Full details
The Judge 33cm Calibrated Baster is an indispensable tool for home cooks looking to achieve perfectly moist poultry and roasts through precise liquid application. It is ideal for those who prioritize culinary accuracy, as the integrated ml and fl oz measurements allow for consistent distribution of juices and marinades. While its 33cm length provides excellent reach for large roasts, users should be mindful that the removable tip requires proper seating to maintain a strong vacuum seal during heavy use.

FAQs
Is the baster made of glass or plastic?
The Judge Calibrated Baster is made from durable, food-safe plastic.
Can I use the injection needle for thick marinades?
Yes, but ensure the marinade is strained to remove large chunks of herbs or spices that might block the needle.
Is it safe to put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, the baster is fully dishwasher safe, but we recommend taking it apart for the most effective cleaning cycle.
What is the total capacity of the baster?
The barrel is designed for precise measurement up to its calibrated limit, making it ideal for standard kitchen basting needs.
How do I prevent the bulb from popping off?
Ensure the connection point between the bulb and the tube is kept dry and clean to maintain a proper grip.
Troubleshooting
Weak suction when pulling up liquid
Check that the removable tip is pushed firmly onto the main barrel to create an airtight seal.
Liquid is not coming out during basting
Inspect the tip and needle for clogs caused by meat fibers or herbs; clear using the provided cleaning brush.
Residue left inside the tube
Disassemble the tip and use the included brush to scrub the internal walls of the barrel before placing it in the dishwasher.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your baster, firmly attach either the standard tip for surface basting or the needle attachment for injection. Before initial use, wash all components in warm soapy water. When cleaning after use, use the provided brush to reach inside the barrel, as dried juices can accumulate near the bulb connection. The unit is compatible with standard kitchen dishwasher cycles, but ensure all parts are dry before storing to prevent internal mold growth. If the suction feels weak, disassemble the tip, check for any debris, and ensure it is pressed snugly back into the main body.
