i was looking for a safer alternative to the usual plastic turkey basters, will this do the job or am i looking at a completely different product??

This is a little different. This is essentially a metal syringe for injecting into the body. You could use it as a baster as well but the opening at the end is much smaller.

I bought this because the last two plastic injectors didn't last long. Either the syringe portion broke or the rubber suction wouldn't hold. So far so good with this one. To me, that makes it safer than the plastic ones.

No. This does not Baste it is used to Inject marinade onto the meat or poultry. It is great for that purpose. It makes things more flavorful and juicy.

I preferred the slicer that wasn't adjustable as this one tends to move thickness whilst in use as there is no locking mechanism. The non adjustable is the same brand, make sure you get the thin slicer and yes it will do your job I use mine all the time I love it!

I use a Food Saver brand and it's OK. I hope to buy a nicer version soon but in the meantime, I think you just want something to get as much air out as possible.

I'd call it more of a deterrent. The birds find it uncomfortable. Works better against smaller birds. I've seen some pretty big woodpeckers - don't know if they'd even notice it!

No. I've used this baster when cooking turkeys, bacon, meatloaf, and blueberry chicken and have had no problems.

Hi, the one that is bigger is a safer bet (almost the exact same price anyway), as it wraps nicely around the bottom and has a smoother fit than most of the rough nylon/cheap material ones.... the one we replaced had lots of cuts from the edges of the bbq, so would always choose one that's plenty large enough.

The cheaper one is build from sturdy plastic. May not be adequate for heavy jobs. I have both (received cheaper on as promo). And actually never used plastic one.

If you don't have a plastic cap, just use plastic saran wrap from your kitchen :)

You'd have to take off the grill, to prevent injuries (as mentioned above), but another, possibly sturdier and safer, version is here: http://onefastcat.com/

I would not recommend. It's a great basket for everything else. I would look for one that is designed for dogs and with a cover for safety

I don't know if that would work or not. May depend what you have in the top one. I returned the two I ordered. They were really flimsy and didn't close...supposed to be airtight. Need that for dog food. Might work for recycling items. I would find them sold locally if you can and check out before ordering. They are sold in large pet stores and farm stores. Unfortunately, I didn't know that until after I had ordered them. Good luck.

I never thought of that, maybe a clear coat of of some kind of spray...something that wouldn't hurt the bird's drinking out of it. Let me know what u find, Please.

I was hoping I can get a metal one as shown in some of the pictures, but the one I got is plastic. A bit disappointed. Since I am using it mainly for my toddler, I am not sure if the plastic is BPA free. It doesn't say anywhere on the web or the booklet. But I figure it should be safe enough if it can stand the heat. I am still looking for a metal shelf to replace the plastic shelf though.

Doubtful. This are light weight, and more for protecting against accidental grazes with a blade. I used to work in a seafood restaurant, and the shuckers there used cloths, folded over for thickness. The blade on an oyster shucker is reletively dull, and you want something that can protect against a blunt point, pushed with a fair amount of force, vs. these, which protect against sharp blades with relatively light force. Hope that helps.

Get the 18 inch one. It would be very hard to fit a turkey in the small one. It is smaller than you would think.

Not sure which one you have but I have a TF200 series and I have fried a 15 lb turkey with no problem. It did not touch the sides of the basket.

We used this product for one season but will probably not use it again. The product seems to be fine in some situations and too strong in others. We had some woodpeckers attacking one of our fruit trees. Using this plastic webbing, we killed other birds, squires, and even a frog. The woodpeckers left the tree alone. Not the way we had intended it to work. It does hold up in the sun but is difficult to get into place. It is not a sun block. It is deadly on birds and animals that get into it.
