Abstract
A utensil for flavoring fowl while cooking it over a heat source such as a barbecue has a pan-shaped base with a center portion and an upright cup-shaped holder extending upward from the top side of the base's center portion. An upright liquid infuser tube is provided which can be removably placed within the cup-shaped holder. The infuser tube has a bottom end sized to be loosely fit within the cup-shaped holder and sidewalls that extend above the cup-shaped holder when the infuser tube is placed in the holder. The extension of the infuser tube's sidewalls form a top portion of the infuser tube which has at least one infuser opening, and which is insertable into the body cavity of a fowl. The base's cup-holder is sized to receive a standard beverage can, such that the infuser tube can be exchanged with an open beverage can, such as a beer can, if desired.
