Turkey Baster

[NormanH]

Heard too often about Turkey Baster. Can use it to feed corals? How does it work? How much n where to get it?

Thanks.

A turkey baster is a giant one foor long dropper. Holds about 30mL of liquid. Normally use to bast the turkey with gravy and sauce while it is roasting in the oven. It can be used to squirt food or supplements at corals for target feeding. If you can't find it at NTUC, try Cold Storage. Shouldn't be hard to find since it's near Xmas.

Anyone got a pic to share? I'm curious how this baster looks like.

For the holidays and all year round, baste with ease with the OXO GOOD GRIPS Turkey Baster. Our unique bulb shape and collar make it easy to grip the Baster two different ways for maximum comfort and control. And the bulb is flat to prevent the Baster from rolling on the countertop. The Baster tube is made of crack resistant, high heat plastic for superior performance. Stardard and metric measurement markings make it easy to see how much liquid is in the Baster. Dishwasher safe top rack.

me too- never been able to find!. i got a 5ml one(from some sort of chemical). but still looking for a big turkey baster(something like 1oz volume).

been searching a few NTUC & cold storage outlets- so if anyone finds pls list which outlet.

I'll see if I can get a couple of turkey baster for you guys here. No promises, I'll kinda short on time.

you can get giant syringes from hospital pharmacy. Cost about $3 for a super big giant size

I bought one from carrefour 2 years ago. I have not seen it there ever since. The rubber bulb will break aftera few months if use it in saltwater. You need to rinse it every after use.

yeah heard about this turkey baster but have nvr seen it since? wonder if KL would have it?

how about Jasons supermart? anyone tried there?

[NormanH]

No luck, cannot find. I guess turkey baster is better than those syringes from pharmacy because it can also be used to blow off sand that falls on corals.

NormanH,

You might want to try going to Kiddie Palace or some baby department in a shopping centre and get a baby nasal cleaner. It comes with a tube and a big rubber pump behind. Its small & short making it agile and easy to manuevre underwater and the oversize pump can deliver a good powerful squirt. If you need to extend it to reach some difficult nooks and cranies, you might just be able to modify it by jamming a straw/tubing in but that's up to your DIY ingenuity. Doesn't come with any measurement marking though. Leave that job to the syringe.

I am now using a ketchup squeeze bottle. Cheap and just as good. So far have used it for almost 9 months now without failure....
