Cook food in an oven
To cook food in an oven using dry heat.
Vartosenos šablonas:
to bake [food] (in the oven)
Dažna klaida:
Learners often use 'cook' instead of 'bake' for cakes and bread, saying *'I cooked a cake'* instead of *'I baked a cake'*. Use 'bake' for food cooked with dry heat in an oven (like bread, cakes, and many desserts) and 'cook' as the general word. Another mistake is saying *'bake in 180 degrees'*; it is more natural to say *'bake at 180 degrees'*.
Sinonimai
cook (More general; can use any method such as boiling, frying, or grilling, while 'bake' is specifically dry heat, usually in an oven.)
|
roast (Often used for meat or vegetables cooked at high heat, sometimes uncovered and with added fat, while 'bake' is common for bread, cakes, and many desserts.)
Antonimai
freeze (To make food very cold or hard by lowering its temperature, the opposite of heating it in an oven.)

Vartosenos šablonas:

Sinonimai
