Norpro Glass Baster

Glass is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb odors or flavors from past meals and won't discolor over time. It also offers superior clarity, allowing you to see exactly how much liquid you are drawing up and distributing.

While it is made of glass, it is designed for standard kitchen use and is durable enough for regular roasting tasks. However, like any glass kitchen tool, it should be handled with care to avoid impacts against hard surfaces like granite or tile countertops.

The simple construction allows for easy disassembly. We recommend using a small bottle brush to reach inside the glass tube and warm, soapy water to ensure any residue is fully removed from the bulb and the tube.

Yes, the glass is designed to withstand the temperatures of pan drippings and hot marinades. Just be mindful of the bulb material, which is typically a heat-resistant silicone or rubber, and avoid direct contact with open flames or heating elements.

The bulb is designed for standard basting liquids like pan juices, melted butter, and thin marinades. If you are working with very thick, chunky sauces, you may need to strain them first to ensure they can be drawn into the tube.
