Chef's Basting: What Does It Do?

[flemings99]

So a client asked what they are doing with the chef's basting in the catalog pic?

It looks like they are brushing chocolate on phyllo dough

It appears that in the catalog picture, the chef is using a basting brush to spread a liquid or sauce onto the food. This technique is often used to add flavor and moisture to meats and other dishes while they are cooking. It can also create a shiny and appetizing appearance on the food.
