Question: Wat does basting mean in cooking!?
Answers:
Basting is a cooking technique, and usually involves cooking meat with either its own juices or some type of preparation such as a sauce or marinade!. Prominently used in grilling, rotisserie, roasting and other meat preparations where the meat is over heat for extended periods of time!. Basting flavors the meat and keeps it moist!. In basting, the flavors of meat are not diluted and get concentrated!. This type of cooking is usually recommended for dishes which have strong flavors mostly served with sauces, for example Chicken chauseire!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It means spooning the liquid from the bottom of the container you are cooking in and pouring over the item you are cooking!.
Some people like their fried eggs basted instead of turned over so they spoon the hot fat over the top of the egg or in the case they use a baster to pull the hot drippings from the bottom of the pan and let it run off the top of the turkey!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it literally means to "bathe" w/e you are cooking in the juices surrounding it!. Periodically throughout cooking this can make your food juicy and tender!. Plus w/e you dont use is always great for gravies and rues!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
