basted
Spooned with drippings
Basted is the past tense of baste, which has two distinct meanings.
In cooking, to baste is to pour liquid—melted fat, pan drippings, or sauce—over meat while roasting to keep it moist: She basted the turkey every thirty minutes.
In sewing, to baste is to make loose, temporary stitches that hold fabric in place before permanent stitching: He basted the hem before running it through the machine.
