Etymology
The word 'baster' originates from the verb 'baste,' which means to moisten food during cooking to prevent it from drying out. The term has its roots in Middle English 'basten', which derived from the Old French 'bastir' meaning to moisten or wet, and the Latin 'bastire' likely related to 'basa' meaning low. Over the years, the use of a baster in culinary practice became popular, especially for roasting meats, as it allows cooks to add flavor and moisture quickly during the cooking process. The modern baster is often made from glass or heat-resistant plastic and is a staple tool in many kitchens.
