Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cajun Injector Deluxe Marinade Injector
Customer Review: Great But not Durable
Summary: 3 Stars
I used this about 6 times. Dropped the cringe cylinder once and it cracked at the tip. Now it has no suction. I would recommend it but handle it with care. Also this is only good for liquid marinades.
Customer Review: Better than the cheaper alternatives
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had the deluxe injector for several years and also have had it develop a crack where the needle mounts onto the plastic. I don't know if hand washing would eliminate the cracking that I and others have experienced. This makes it difficult to get much marinade into anything since the "seal" is broken. A stop gap is to put your finger over part of the crack.For a while I used less expensive injector syringes but found the black rubber gasket deteriorated if I used a dishwasher and in order to really clean the gasket you have to remove the gasket from the plunger. After a while I found the gaskets would not stay attached to the plunger. I don't know if hand washing would have eliminated this problem.
More important, the inside of the diameter of the needle is smaller on the cheaper units than the Williams deluxe unit making it difficult to draw up and inject marinades where the spices are not all fine powders. The one ounce capacity of the Williams unit is a definite plus.
In both types of injectors I found a small amount of cooking oil made a big difference in the ease of moving the plunger up and down.
What now? I may try a stainless steel unit or a squeeze bottle next depending on the size of the needle and construction quality. Worst case, another of the Williams Deluxe Marinade Injectors.
Customer Review: Works great for a few times, then cracks.
Summary: 2 Stars
This injector works great for a few times, but then cracks, not allowing you to suck-up the marinade or inject it. This was only hand-washed after every use. Don't waste your money on it; you will pull it out to use it, and will not be able to when you need it [like when you have that big turkey sitting on the counter, and find the injector unusable]. The acrylic body needs to be redesigned and manufactured with another, more durable material, then it would be absolutely great.Customer Review: This Thing Put Me In the hospital for 3 Weeks!
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, I purchased this item from Wal-Mart a few months ago, and well I just feel like I should warn any potential buyers. I was extremely EXCITED to inject my homemade teriyaki sauce (ask me for the recipe!!!) into my beef roll, BUT ran into a HUGE problem. I had the marinade all loaded up and was on my merry way injecting the meat when the injector slipped and stabbed me in the hand!! About 3mL of marinade was injected into my left hand, it hurt like a motherf#%$&@!!! My wife rushed me to the hospital where I sat for over 4 hours waiting to be seen. During this time, I became light-headed, nauseated, and eventually lost consciousness. Apparently my marinade is not meant for intravenous consumption. After regaining consciousness and having my hand thoroughly cleaned, I thought I was going to be fine. BUT I was wrong. 2 days later I became so sick with diarreah and vomiting, that I returned to the hospital only to find that e. coli had made its way into my bloodstream via the injector. This was the last straw. I told my wife to go home and destroy the injector, I did not want anything like this to happen again to anyone in my home! I told her to be "extra careful" while she was taking care of business.
I hope this is a good warning for anyone looking to buy this.
Customer Review: Please... don't waste your money!

Deluxe?? I would hate to see the non-deluxe version! Just two injections into my greatly anticipated New Year's ham... and it broke!! I directly contacted the manufacturer numerous times, but got no response. If you want to use the injection method of cooking (and I highly recommend it), spend a little more money and get a truly deluxe model (i.e., non-plastic)."Chef Williams" marinade products are fabulous, but the company should be ashamed ot themselves for trying to pass off this injector as a "quality" product. If you try to use this injector you will probably never know how good the injection method can be!
One last word of warning... Should you still decide to purchase this product, please be sure you have anternate game plan. Trust me, most injectable marinades are only good IF they are actually injected!!
