Moisten During Cooking is a cooking technique that involves adding liquid to food while it is cooking. This technique is often referred to as basting, which is a five-letter word used to describe the process of adding liquid to food while it is cooking. Basting helps to keep food moist and flavorful during the cooking process. It also helps to prevent food from drying out and burning. Basting is commonly used when roasting meats, poultry, and vegetables.
