The Story

The TurboBaster was a battery-operated kitchen appliance that replaced all bulb basters, basting brushes and marinade injectors. Marian Cruz’s idea was to make cooking whole turkeys, chickens and other game birds less of a hassle than when the cook had to “baby-sit” the bird with a traditional bulb baster.

The Pitch on Shark Tank

Turbobaster appeared on Shark Tank (Season 1, Episode 3) in 2009. Marian Cruz pitched the product to the Sharks. $35,000 and 2% royalties — Kevin Harrington.
