Truss
To bind or skewer food, usually poultry or game. With fowl, the wings and legs are tied with string or they are pinned with skewers before cooking so that it will retain its shape while cooking. This can also allow for easier basting during cooking.
You can also use twine to truss food for stuffing such as a pork loin or chicken breast.
