Definition B AKING IS THE COOKING OF FOOD BY DRY HEAT IN AN OVEN IN WHICH THE ACTION OF THE DRY CONVECTION
Three methods of baking can be identified. Dry baking: when baking, steam rises from the water content of the food; this steam combines with the dry heat of the oven to cook the food, e.g. cakes, pastry, baked jacket potatoes. Increased humidity baking: when baking certain foods, e.g. bread, the oven humidity is increased by placing a bowl of water or injection steam into the oven, thus increasing the water content of the food and so improving the eating quality. Bain marie: when baking, place food in a container of water (bain marie) which modifies the heat so that the food cooks more slowly, does not overheat or overcook.
