we bought baster that melted when sucking up hot butter from the turkey cooking, does this one or the tip melt?

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

I have not had enough use to say weather the tip will melt. But the tips are easy to replace! I had a much "cheaper" Weller iron and the tip melted all the way down during a project (Radio). 3 each: Weller Soldering Iron (SP23L) This is the one! It is for "light" duty.

I've had my weller for just a few months, but I've also owned a radioshack 40 watt iron. I've worked on various projects with the weller iron, mostly wiring and some circuitry. I haven't had any problems with it melting tips. In fact, the tip still looks as good as it did when I got it in the mail. The tip does seem to be of significantly better quality than what I got on the radioshack iron so I would suspect that you won't ever encounter the same problem with your weller.

The lid just sits on top and does not attach. It is heavy enough to stay in place. There is a little venting of oil/steam that comes out of the small vent on the lid and very little from the butter melting area. We do not use the butter melting option so I'm not sure what happens when you do.

First you brine the turkey over night. Then you use the rub. I wouldn't mix them.

We had the LID melt when in the carrier. Another hot dish was stacked on top which probably caused the problem. Just letting you know what can happen.

If you put a Tabsp. of butter on top of whatever you are boiling it will not boil over..I usually don't add that much, but I am very experienced with cooking......

I have never used the tip but I do not think that the tip gets hot. I also have short hair and have never had any problems. I have bought several of these and am very happy with them.

It appears to be some kind of industrial plastic that doesn't melt. I only used the poacher once and I'm about to re-sell it so it's packed away at the moment. Sorry I'm not more helpful.

I never had the problem of the top melting. Due to my own fault, my last one cracked, even on the metal diffuser. I got distracted and let it boil dry. Of course, it cracked. I love this model. Same glass as the more expensive ones. I bought a replacement. Much prefer boiling water in glass than metal.

Hey Ron, I have exposed heating elements and this melted similar to my experience with aluminum foil liners catching on fire. My best experience so far with oven liners is using cookie tins that are large enough to cover the majority of the bottom of the oven.

Yes they will melt, usually the sender will not send in hot weather, purchased these because they were cheaper than the Anthon Berg chocalets, big mistake, inexpensive chocolate and the liqueur filling is jell, look at Anthon berg

Melt the butter slightly in the tin and heated oven. Then use the brush to moosh it around. The brush is small but works ever so well. To use for glazing is a dream. Holds butter, glaze and marinade really well. Washes up nice. I would NOT put it in the dishwasher because the soap is too harsh. High heat resistant to 500 F. I love it. Makes good stocking stuffers too. The bristles don't fall out like the paint brush basters do.

That's Normal. Just place squeeze it into the popper kettle and it will melt, or just let it sit out for a while. Either way it works.

I had no problem with melting. I went directly from a tea kettle with boiling water and put the lid on it.

This happened to me when I was taking the butter from around the edge during warm weather. Pack it firmly, and scoop from the center.

I like to add water for the purpose of making broth for gravy and dressing after the turkey is done. Yes, I cover it. If the turkey is too large for the lid to fit, then use foil to cover it. This keeps your turkey from drying out. You may want to uncover your turkey & baste it with the broth for the last 30-45 minutes for a golden brown skin. Note: My son uses butter to baste his turkey and it is moist and delicious. However, I'm on a health issue diet, so I don't use the butter.
