What is a "baster"?

A baster is a kitchen tool used for transferring liquids, typically juices or marinades, onto food during cooking. It typically consists of a bulb or tube attached to a thin tube or nozzle, with a bulb or squeeze mechanism at one end. To use a baster, you squeeze the bulb to draw liquid into the tube, and then release it to release the liquid onto the food. Basters are commonly used for basting meats, such as turkey or chicken, during roasting to keep them moist and flavorful. They are also useful for adding sauces or glazes to dishes, as well as for removing fat or drippings from the surface of cooked food.
