basting brush
Kitchen glazing tool
A basting brush is a kitchen tool used to spread liquids—melted butter, marinades, pan drippings—over food during cooking.
The brush head may be natural bristles, silicone, or synthetic fibers attached to a handle.
Basting keeps meat moist and adds flavor: She used the basting brush to coat the turkey with its juices.
