Does coco nut oil dissolve syringe plunger?

I made some edibles today and used a large turkey baster to filter the pot from the oil. Anyways, when I pulled the plunger back The was a black residue that I didn’t immediately recognize as plant matter. Then I got to thinking about it and thought the hot oil may have degraded the rubber plunger to the syring? It’s a food safe syringe so I wouldn’t think hot oil would do anything but I rather be safe

Seems unlikely given that it's meant to stand up to other hot fats but who knows. Does the rubber of the plunger look eaten away?

I can confirm upon further inspection it did degrade the rubber plunger. Watch out for that folks.

I don't think the rubber part of a turkey baster is necessarily meant to be used. I don't think I've ever used one that purposefully sucked everything up to the bulb thing. It always stops near the top of the tube part after one good squeeze

Good info for people! LARRY: I think they were using a plunger type baster like a giant syringe with the rubber stopper part like a small medical syringe, they make those too in addition to the bulb ended ones that suck up the juices etc...in a tube below the rubber bulb part.

Of course an organic solvent like a fat will degrade rubber 🤦♂️

Not a baster with a bulb. Just a giant syringe like the ones we use for mycology. It’s auto clave safe and all, used to suck up and inject turkey juices.
