14 Brilliant Uses For Turkey Baster That Are Real Lifesavers

My kids were the main users of the Turkey Baster when they were little. Both of them were so focused on making the world a better place for living and tended to change everything with a simple drop of water.

They had their own garden and grew flowers and everything else watering it with the help of Turkey Baster.

They are bigger now and these Turkey Basters are somewhere in my basement sitting there waiting for someone to come and pick them up.

Maybe now is the time for them to get “employed” again. Only this time, it will be me using their ability to help me around the house.

There are 14 brilliant ways for using these helpers for different purposes:

1. Change Plant Water. Remove dirty water without disturbing your plants. Use a turkey baster to absorb the old water and replace with fresh water, whether your greens are in a vase or potted plant. This trick is especially handy for high-hanging plants.

2. Touch Up Paint Job. For small paint sprucing jobs, use a turkey baster to transfer a small amount of paint from the pail to a disposable cup. You’ll have the exact portion you need and avoid drips.

3. Degrease Meat. After cooking meat (say, ground beef), use a turkey baster to remove the extra grease at the bottom of the pan. Faster than ladling with a spoon, this trick lowers the likelihood of smearing grease spills.
