Flavor injector....

My mom gave me a "flavor injector" for Christmas this year. Does anyone have any ideas for what I could possibly use this for? I am intrigued, but so far completely dry for ideas. She knows I love to cook, but sometimes her gifts don't translate directly to my diet. Last year, she gave me a frying pan with ridges on it that let the fat drain out while you cook. I use it in the oven to make little grill marks on my tomatoes....:P
What do you guys think? No, I'm not lacing a block of tofu with herbs like they do (with pork) on the commercials. :-D
my sister gave me one a few years ago lol.
i have yet to use it.
"Plug" a watermelon with alcohol?
Sorry, I really don't know what it is. In the US y'all have a look of gadgets in your kitchens that never make it out to other places. Is it anything like a turkey baster?

It basically looks like a medical syringe.
I had to look it up too. ;)b

maybe you could do it to hunk of seitan or some sort of tofu turkey roast? inject an eggplant with some seasonings and bake it?
inject a liquor or coffee into cupcakes? but not so much that it would get really soggy.. fruit puree or custard would be good too.

YES. Use for CUPCAKES.
I mean, you could use it on anything....tofu, vegetables.....
Might it be able to pipe frosting very finely? You could make some gorgeous, intricate designs on baked goods.
injector: definitely cupcakes
grill: definitely seitan
make anything mashed, liquid,half liquid, I see there are a lot of raw material to choose. Open minded ;)b

and then inject it directly into your mouth.
or send it to mdvegan - i think she's still waiting on hers!
