Oven-baking
Oven-baking is a cooking method that uses dry, consistent heat from an oven to evenly cook food. The heat surrounds the food, causing chemical changes that result in a cooked dish, often with a desirable texture and flavor. This method is ideal for baking bread, pastries, casseroles, and roasting meats or vegetables. The controlled temperature and environment allow for uniform cooking, making it a reliable technique for achieving specific textures and doneness. Adjusting oven temperature and timing helps tailor the process for different recipes and ingredients.
