Abstract:
1. A pair of tongs comprising: a first tong arm having a first front end, and a second tong arm having a second front end, wherein the first and second tong arms are hingedly connected to each other in a manner such that the first and second front ends are restricted to movement laterally inward toward each other for grasping articles and laterally outward away from each other, thereby defining a lateral direction as orthogonal to a surface of a one of the first and second front ends; and a basting apparatus comprising a brush extending from a proximal end stem to a distal end basting surface, wherein the stem is mounted within a seating portion of the exterior surface of the one front end such that the brush is orthogonally aligned with the front end exterior surface, and extends laterally outward from the seating portion of the exterior surface to the laterally distal basting surface.
