Definition
To pour or brush liquid, such as melted butter or juices, over food while it cooks to keep it moist and add flavor.
Usage & Nuances
Often used in cooking, especially for roasting meats and poultry. Always refers to adding liquid during the cooking process, not before or after. In sewing, 'baste' is different: it means to temporarily join pieces of fabric, but that's not the meaning here.
