great product and great service from Trovolo
By R Peters
This is my first review (I think) but the great customer service I received from Trovolo made me want to write this. After about 7 months of use, the rubber piece inside the tip somehow fell out so it was no longer holding liquid. We LOVED this baster, so I contacted Trovolo and told them about it. In about a week, they happily sent me a new tip. I was impressed with their customer service and I'm still impressed with the product despite the small mishap with the tip. Don't waste your money on a cheap wal-mart baster. Buy this one. It made a great stocking stuffer for my girlfriend who uses it to cook the best hot wings in the world.

2009 Edit: almost 2 years later and this thing still works perfectly. Still looks brand new, too. We take the tip off before placing the rest in the dishwasher (silicon goes on top rack, stainless steel on bottom).

2010 Edit: I had to sacrifice this thing to drain the oil from a portable gas generator. It was cold, dark, I couldn't figure out where the oil drain was located, and I had to change the oil or else. Somehow this baster popped in my mind and it didn't fail me. You can imagine the mess I would have made had it not been a dripless baster. Didn't feel comfortable using it for food anymore, so I said goodbye to our 2 year old baster and I had to promise my now-wife I would order a new one, which I did.

great product
By Lori
I've had this almost a year. Highly recommend it. Very high quality. No cheap plastic. It's metal and the bulb is of high quality rubber. The tip is plastic and removable for easy cleaning. That is the part that keeps the liquids from dripping and it really works. That is of high quality as well as I have had this in some really hot juices/fats and doesn't seem to come close in melting like I have had happened to me with the cheap plastic ones. It just doesn't drip going from one spot to another. Love it. I use it alot when I'm cooking burgers or other meats in frying pan and I want to get the fats/juice out of the pan, I use the baster and let it continue to keep cooking. No tipping pans anymore.

Baster
By carmen
This baster is sturdy and well engineered and uses quality material; it doesnt drip, the tip design makes it easy to use, and has powerful and effortless suction and release- even in the hottest liquids.
