How To:

Basting

Fast, foolproof ways to ensure moist, flavorful results.

Toolkit

Basting brush
Bulb baster
Large spoon
Oven mitt

BASTING WITH SAUCE

A brush is the best tool for basting while grilling or broiling parts.
Dip the brush in fresh sauce or marinade.
Baste after turning the chicken; repeat on the "up" side once or twice during cooking time.
Wash the brush in hot, soapy water.

BASTING WITH PAN JUICES

Using a bulb baster is the easiest way to baste a whole, roasted bird.
Wear an oven mitt and baste every 20-30 minutes, depending on your cooking time.
Clean by removing the rubber bulb, soaking both pieces in hot, soapy water.
Air dry before putting the bulb back on.

Remember

Ensure doneness with a meat thermometer.
Refrigerate any leftover chicken or turkey immediately and use within 3-5 days.
