Basting involves cooking meat with either its own juices or some type of preparation such as a barbecue sauce or marinade. Prominently used in barbecue, grilling, rotisserie, roasting and other meat preparations where the meat is over heat for extended periods of time. Basting flavors the meat and keeps it moist. Often a brush or other absorbent tool is used to reapply or redistribute the basting liquid during cooking.

Recipes, such as stuffed muskrat or oven-barbecued beaver, are a bonus, or as they say in Louisiana, lagniappe. For all those folks that like free-range chicken and turkey, this is a whole new world.
