Help Me Find Alton Brown's Olive Oil Baster-Dropper-Thing Good Question

Ali wrote to us, looking for Alton Brown's very cool olive oil baster.

I was watching the show "Good Eats" on Food Network and he was using this amazing baster tool for his olive oil. Any idea what it may be called and where I could find one?

Ali, there are quite a few oil droppers, cruets, and basters that are similar to the one that Alton Brown uses, and we'll list those below. But here's the exact one he uses — we're rather enamored of it too!

• Progressive Portion Pro Dropper, pictured above on right and at top of post. $14 at Amazon.

Here are a few more that are also nice:

• Norpro Glass Oil Cruet, pictured directly above on left. Similar to Alton Brown's, but with a brush on the end. $12.99 at Amazon.
• Glass Cruets, pictured at top of post on bottom right. $25 for set at Chef's Planet.
• Pipette Bottles from Camilla Kropp. Will be available from MOMA Store this fall for $60/set.

Next question?

I have the Portion Pro model shown above right and love it! The measurements on the dropper really help.

Thanks! I've been wondering about this too. Also -- Alton uses an old fashioned red oil can to hold olive oil -- I can't find it anywhere. Anyone have any ideas?

Is there an update to this? Has anyone found the Portion Pro model yet? TIA.

We finally found a Progressive Portion Pro Dropper just today, and it's being shipped to us. Found it at Trumm Pharmacy in Alexandria, MN. iamacbeth

Amazon's website states that this item is no longer and may not ever be available again. I paid just $11.97 (plus tax and shipping) to get one from Trumm Pharmacy in Alexandria, MN. They were very helpful and cheerful about sending this item to me.
