• When removing the meat from the oven, close the oven door while basting. Remove your meat and place it on the top of the stove or a countertop, close the oven door, baste, and then put the meat back in the oven. It is important to baste quickly.
• For even coat of the marinade turn the meat every 30 minutes.
