Abstract: A basting device for injecting fluid flavoring material under pressure, said device including a hollow elongated member with perforations adjacent one end and with an annular flange adjacent the other end. A tip having a pointed head for penetrating a food article is threadedly attached to the end of the elongated member adjacent the perforations. A bowl is threadedly attached to the flange, said flange forming a cover and including peripheral grooves communicating with the bowl for pressure relief if the device becomes plugged, said elongated member extending through the flange and including perforations for straining the flavoring fluid.
