Oven baking is a cooking method that uses dry heat to prepare food. The food is placed inside an oven, where hot air circulates around it, cooking it evenly. This technique is commonly used for a variety of dishes, including bread, cookies, and casseroles. To bake, the oven is preheated to a specific temperature, usually measured in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Once the desired temperature is reached, the food is placed on a baking tray or in a baking dish. The heat from the oven helps to create a golden-brown exterior while keeping the inside moist and flavorful.
