baste
Spoon over drippings
Baste has two unrelated meanings.
In cooking, to baste is to pour or brush liquid—melted butter, pan drippings, marinade—over meat while roasting to keep it moist: Baste the turkey every thirty minutes.
In sewing, to baste is to make long, loose stitches that temporarily hold fabric in place before permanent stitching: She basted the hem before running it through the machine.
