KitchenCraft Meat Injector, Cooking Syringe, Kitchen Gadget for Baking and Roasting

Product Information

Coming in a set of twelve pieces, you really have everything you could ever need to produce juicy meat with this product. It’s a shame, as this product has so much to offer, but fails when it comes down to the nitty gritty. The twelve separate pieces consist of: the incredible two-ounce vat, three whole injecting needles, two cleaning brushes and six spare plastic rings to help keep the needles secured in place. It is the kind of tool which would be perfect for marinating small cuts of meat, and its smallness would make it a great accompaniment to a camping trip. We did an extensive review of the best marinade injectors a couple of years ago, but this one is the new and improved review suitable for the 2021 market.

needle, which is the thin option, and two 15cm needles, both of which are thicker and one of which even includes drilled in holes to filter out bits like herbs and garlic. Another great feature of the vat is the fact that most of its parts are removable, making it easier to clean, and speaking of cleaning – the injector is also dishwasher safe, which gets another big tick from me. It is also a big added bonus if your injector comes with some kind of cleaning utensil, like for example a thin bristle brush to help you clean those hard-to-reach spots. Starting with the two-ounce barrel, I’m obviously very impressed with its generous capacity for liquid, making it the perfect tool for a big barbeque job. Made from brushed stainless steel, with a hard plastic handle and a glass, calibrated window, this product is well-made, sturdy and even dishwasher safe.The handle is also an interesting design feature of this injector, as it has a hoop design whereby you can fit three fingers into its hoop for optimum grip. This means that you have more control over where you are injecting your marinade, meaning less spills and tastier meat. Of course, these issues could easily be resurrected by contacting the manufacturers and getting a replacement, but that’s not really the point.

In addition to this, the product does have a tendency of occasionally deteriorating, which is not good. This variation in marinades means that the right meat marinade injector will have options when it comes to the size of needle it provides. You can use this technique on small cuts of meat, such as steaks, pork chops or strips of chicken, or you could use it on larger meats, like a whole roast chicken, turkey or pig. The moment the sun pokes its head out, Brits all over the nation drag their barbecues out from their hibernation, get them fired up and begin emitting a mouth-watering smell which can literally be sniffed out from miles away. Made from plastic, with a stainless-steel needle, the product measures 22cm x 7cm (length x width), making it a pretty small barbeque tool.The HeroNeo is cheap and compact, but most certainly not up to scratch for large scale marination jobs. This makes the product multipurpose; appropriate for injecting big and small cuts of meat, not to mention thin or thick liquids. This makes it a marinade injector which is worthy of marinating big cuts of meat and even whole chickens or pigs, whilst also still working well on smaller cuts of meat, due to the small needles which are included in the kit. In this case, you would be forced to hold the product by the bulb at the top, however also be warned – this bulb has a habit of slipping off, which means burning hot liquid erupting all over your hands. Another thing which is important to take into consideration is the material which the injector is made from.

Now, be warned – if you have a fear of needles and injections then perhaps this is not the product for you.Let’s talk for a moment about the glass window and the plastic handle, as I think these two features deserve a little limelight. Well, you simply load up the syringe-like utensil with your marinade of choice and insert it into your meat like, for example under the skin of a chicken.

Where the size difference in the previous product was somewhat minute, when Cosumina says that one needle is bigger than the other, they actually mean it. Whilst it looks extremely well made and durable, it isn’t uncommon to get leakages, spillages, air bubbles and even needle malfunctions with this product. So, I hear you ask, how exactly do I make my meat the envy of every barbecue owner within a five-mile radius? The handle is also made from a wider ring than most handles on other marinade injector plungers, meaning there is less pressure applied on the finger, optimising the comfort of the user even more. With this in mind, take care when injecting hot liquids with this product, as the metal spout can heat up quickly and could burn your hands.However, I have to note that the difference in size between the two needles is pretty measly, and whilst one of the needles is slightly bigger, it’s still a fairly thin needle and wouldn’t cope well with a thick, chunky marinade. Its small size does limit the usefulness of this product, not to mention the inclusion of just one, fairly skinny needle. It is time now for the Cosumina marinade injector, which is comparable with the BestUtensils injector in its turkey baster design. 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.
