Questions about cooking by dry heat without direct exposure to a flame, typically in an oven.
Most questions in this tag will be about some type of leavened product: cakes, pastries, breads, and so on. However, any food cooked by convective heat at moderate temperatures may be considered baking.
If your question is about cooking meat, vegetables, or other non-rising food, especially at very high heat, consider using the roasting tag instead. Other common oven techniques that are not baking include braising and broiling.
