It truly looks like something that you could find in a doctor’s drawer, so when KitchenCraft Masterclass named their product a ‘meat injector’, they weren’t messing around. Metal is, of course, prone to rust and degenerate over time, so it’s a very good idea to invest in a stainless-steel marinade injector if you want a truly high quality and long-lasting product. Other than these positives, there unfortunately isn’t much else to boast about with the HeroNeo marinade injector. This means that you have more control over where you are injecting your marinade, meaning less spills and tastier meat. Let’s talk for a moment about the glass window and the plastic handle, as I think these two features deserve a little limelight.

Sure, this alteration in design does mean that there is no barrel window to check how much marinade you have left, so it is hard to be specific with this baster, however it can hold a maximum of 1. It means that this product requires more storage than most, and also could just be too much for the average cook. Furthermore, the plunger handle is designed to fit comfortably into a hand’s grasp, optimising the user’s control over the marination.So far so good, however take care with the injecting needle, as its small size makes it prone to getting lost, which would be far from ideal. This of course is a good thing, however it does mean that you truly have no excuses if your barbeque meat is dry with this product.

So as you go through my site you'll watch me document some of the professional garden installs I make as well as the major projects I take on at home. Then, after carefully screwing the injector needle onto the bottom of the baster’s spout, you inject the marinade into your meat by squeezing the bulb again. In addition to this, the product does have a tendency of occasionally deteriorating, which is not good.Of course, there are also many different types of marinades out there; with some being much thicker than others, and some even containing big chunks of ingredients, such as garlic, onion or chilli. This would definitely be an issue if you were looking to use the product on a large cut of meat, injecting a thick marinade, however on the plus side, its small size means that it would easily slot into any kitchen draw.
