basting
This term describes two entirely unrelated technical processes: one in culinary arts and one in textile work. In the kitchen, it refers to the moisture-preserving technique of applying fats or juices to meat, often associated with roasting or grilling to achieve a specific texture and color.
In sewing, it refers to a temporary structural step. Because these stitches are designed to be removed once the final seam is sewn, the process is characterized by speed and lack of permanence. It is a preparatory stage rather than a finishing touch.
Meanings
The process of sewing two pieces of fabric together with long, loose stitches to hold them temporarily in place before the final stitching is done.
The act of pouring or brushing melted fat, juices, or liquid over meat while it is cooking to keep it moist.
