Abstract: An automatic baster (10) for a roasting pan (12) comprising a component (24) for elevating meat (14) slightly above the bottom (26) of the roasting pan (12). An assembly (27) on the elevating component (24) is for raising juices and gravy (28) from the bottom (26) of the roasting pan (12) over the meat (14) during the roasting of the meat (14), when the roasting pan (12) is placed on a rack (16) within an oven (19) of a stove (20) with the oven door (15) closed. A facility (30) on the juices and gravy raising assembly (27) is for dropping the juices and gravy (28) gently downwardly upon the meat (14) in a continuous manner, so as to keep the meat (14) moist, retain its flavor and make it more tasty after being roasted.
