Flavor Injectors  

Hi! No I havent tried it before. I have heard of it but havent seen the product. Glad to hear it is good, maybe I will try it when I go back to Bass Pro. Thanks for sharing

My granddaughter bought one with the Cajun marinade for a turkey that was going to be deep fried for Christmas. it turned out really good. It really puts the flavor where we want it. Gave the turkey a nice flavor that it usually doesn't have. Just as you said it help to keep the meat nice and juicy and just a good hint of flavor. I forget to use it though with other meat.

I have had those before. I did not pay $7 for it though. I bought mine at a grocery store that had marked it down on clearance. I am trying to remember the flavor I had tried.


Ok, I went and did a search ti figure it out. It was the Creole Butter one.

The refill ones are only $3.99 at http://www.brucefoods.com... since you already have the injector now.

I have tried them before but we usually use them on turkey. Around here we deep fry turkey's. So you buy the injector and marinade and then you poke your turkey a few times and stick it in the fryer. It is sooo good! We like the creole butter flavor too of that brand. I haven't tried it on a roast yet but that sounds good too. The marinade is hard to find around here though, it is only out during picnic season usually because is when people do their turkeys in the deep fryers.

This sounds like something that I would use. I have not heard of it and it is probabluy not available out here. With pork, I cut up lots of onions and garlic, salt and black pepper and soy sauce. I mix it all together and make slits into the pork and stuff this seasoning in the slits. The cuts are small. I rub the reast of the seasongs over the pork and let it marinade overnight in the fridge before roasting. This way the pork seasong goes through the meat and it is good.

However, your way sounds great and I wish that I could try it out. Blessings

Actually, I am puerto rican and when we prepare our meats, we love flavor, flavor, flavor, going all the way thru the meat. So, we also inject all our meats and marinate them before actually putting fire to it. Now, people, there is a much cheaper way to inject and flavor your meat rather than buying expensive injectors and marinades. Get your injector from a medical supply house, and make your own marinades with different flavor components or cultural ingredients. We use lemons, limes, bitter oranges, vinegar (any kind), and herbs like cilantro, oregano, parsley, etc. then there are the spices, adobo (powder form), sason, and lastly the best part is the SOFRITO. This is a vegetable and aromatic paste, much like italian pesto, but with latin produce. Onions, garlic, tomatoes, peppers (red, green, yellow bell, and italian sweet peppers (also called cubanelle peppers), cilantro and maybe a couple other things I havent mentioned. All of these ingredients are processed in a food processor and then portioned out as marinades and a latin base for our meats and beans and rice and other latin dishes. Anyway, we take this base and inject or marinade our meats with it then cook it in any manner you desire. (Roast, sautee, braise, etc.) Back to how you get this cheaper, use this marinade (which has already been pre-proportioned and frozen in sandwich bags) and defrost add a little vinegar or fresh citrus juices, make a thin marinade, and use the injector you got at a medical supply house on the cheap, together with your choice of meat, (chicken, pork, beef etc.) and you got one hell of a good meal once its cooked!!! I know this was long, but I hope it helped you people out there in internet land.

Like some has said the flavor injectors work well will fried turkey. We have had good results with pot roast as well

I've never seen these, but the theory sounds good. When I marinade meat, I always poke holes in it with a skewer to allow the flavour to get right into the meat.
