Bake Bake (b[=a]k), v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Baked} (b[=a]kt); p. pr. & vb. n. {Baking}.] [AS. bacan; akin to D. bakken, OHG. bacchan, G. backen, Icel. & Sw. baka, Dan. bage, Gr. fw`gein 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. [1913 Webster]

2. To dry or harden (anything) by subjecting to heat, as, to bake bricks; the sun bakes the ground. [1913 Webster]

3. To harden by cold. [1913 Webster]
