Definition
-
Bake in is a phrasal verb that has multiple meanings and applications depending on the context.
One common usage of "bake in" is related to cooking or baking. When used in this sense, it refers to the act of including or incorporating an ingredient or flavor into a dish during the baking or cooking process. This can involve adding spices, herbs, or other ingredients to the mixture, ensuring they blend or infuse with the dish as it is being cooked.

In a broader sense, "bake in" can also refer to incorporating or embedding a particular element or quality into a larger system or process. For example, in the technology industry, "bake in" can describe the act of integrating a feature or functionality into a software or hardware product, making it an intrinsic and integral part of the overall system. This ensures that the feature is a fundamental component from the start, rather than being added as an update or extension later on.
Overall, "bake in" carries the connotation of permanence, as it implies that the ingredient, flavor, or feature becomes an essential and inseparable part of something, often through the process of heating or integration.
Etymology of BAKE IN
The term "bake in" is a phrasal verb that originated in the culinary field. The word "bake" comes from the Old English word "bacan", which means "to cook with dry heat" and can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "bakanan". The word "in" is a preposition that indicates location or inclusion.
In the context of cooking, "bake in" refers to the process of including or incorporating certain ingredients or flavors directly into a dish while it is being baked, instead of adding them later. This method allows the ingredients to become more integrated into the dish and infuse their flavors throughout. Over time, the term "bake in" has been adopted more widely beyond the culinary realm and is now used metaphorically in various contexts to mean the inclusion or integration of something into a particular process, system, or product.
