basters
Kitchen suction tubes
Basters are tools for moistening meat while it cooks—typically a tube with a rubber bulb that draws up pan juices and squirts them over the roast.
The term also refers to people who baste: The basters kept the turkey from drying out.
In slang, baster sometimes appears in "turkey baster," referencing at-home artificial insemination.
