Baster

A "baster" is a kitchen tool used to moisten food during cooking, especially meats like turkey or chicken. Typically, it’s a syringe-like device with a long nozzle, designed to draw up cooking juices or marinade and then release them over the food. This process helps keep the meat moist, enhances flavor, and prevents it from drying out during roasting or grilling. Basting can be done periodically throughout cooking to improve texture and taste. It's a simple yet effective tool that contributes to a juicier, more flavorful dish.
