The ends justify the means, they say, and, if you aim at cooking a sensational dish, then you will need "heavy artillery". Marinade injectors and pump basters are the secret utensils that will turn your kitchen into a tasty-dish laboratory.
Meat injectors are used by chefs to inject sauces, flavored oil and marinades into steaks, for an unparalelled boost in meat flavour and tenderness. Make sure that the needle diameter fits your needs: thin needles are suitable for fluid oils and sauces, while thicker needles are suitable for injecting thick sauces, with greens, jams, chocolate, etc. You can also use the injectors for pastries, to fill donuts and muffins with jam, liqueur or creams.
The pump baster helps you get a juicy steak in an elegant and effortless manner. When cooking a large steak or a whole chicken in the oven, it is essential to periodically smear over the meat the sauce it are cooked in. Fill the baster with sauce and spread it across the meat, here and there, to keep the meat juicy and tender.
