Now that I've discovered Sharon Schamber's "Basting With Boards" (thanks for the members of this group!), I am doing less spray basting and pinning. I tried the "boards" because I was skeptical and had also never done any basting with "thead" but I'm now a convert to that method. The basting spray is also getting awfully pricey (even with JoAnn coupons) so I use it for smaller items only.
