• Place the food (e.g., meat or poultry) in a roasting pan.

• Prepare the basting liquid, such as melted butter, pan drippings, or a marinade.

• During cooking, use a basting brush to coat the surface of the food with the liquid, ensuring even coverage.

• Baste at regular intervals (e.g., every 20–30 minutes) to keep the food moist and enhance flavor.

• Return the food to the oven or grill after each basting.

• Stop basting during the last 10–15 minutes of cooking to allow the surface to crisp.

• Serve the food immediately after resting for a few minutes.

• Step 1: Allow the roasting pan to cool before cleaning.

• Step 2: Rinse the pan with warm water to remove grease and residue.

• Step 3: Wash the pan and basting brush with warm, soapy water using a sponge. For stuck-on residue, soak the pan before scrubbing.

• Step 4: Dry both items thoroughly before storing.
