Bake \Bake\ (b[amac]k), v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Baked} (b[amac]kt);
p. pr. & vb. n. {Baking}.] [AS. bacan; akin to D. bakken,
OHG. bacchan, G. backen, Icel. & Sw. baca, Dan. bage, Gr. [?]
to roast.]
1. To prepare, as food, by cooking in a dry heat, either in
an oven or under coals, or on heated stone or metal; as,
to bake bread, meat, apples.

cooking which exhausts the moisture in food more than
roasting or broiling; but the distinction of meaning
between roasting and baking is not always observed.
