Considering a turkey cooking baster is normally used with hot juice, we picked materials that can stand high heat. The bulb, though has less chance to touch the juice within, is made of 600℉ heat resistant silicone. And the tube, the critical part, clear like glass, is actually made from a high quality plastic called tritan, which can withstand heat up to 228.2℉. Both bulb and tube are high heat safe, BPA free, food grade, and as so safe in dishwasher. We made the tube and the tip into one-piece, no leaking, and no cracks. Despite the function, bulb is made to have great suction ability, as its octopus's shape head stands for. We did some changes on the joint place, mathematic calculation involved to make them seamless in use. If you take off the bulb, you shall notice there is a ridge on the end of the tube and a groove within the bulb. These two parts fit right in each other when the bulb is screwed in, and so make a tight seal. No breaking off when holding hot juice.
