Thermal shock occurs when a material experiences drastic temperature changes, causing it to crack. This is common with turkey basters, especially during the holidays.
While tempered glass is stronger than regular glass due to its manufacturing process, it is still susceptible to thermal shock, leading to potential cracking.
Plastic basters are more flexible and handle heat better than glass, but they too have limits and can warp when exposed to excessive heat.
To prevent your baster from cracking, gradually warm it up and avoid rapid temperature changes, like rinsing it with cold water after use.
