Alreadybaked

Alreadybaked refers to a state where a product, typically food, has undergone its primary cooking process and is ready for consumption or minimal reheating. This term is commonly used in the context of pre-prepared meals, baked goods sold in stores, or ingredients that have been previously cooked. For example, a pre-made pie that is "already baked" only requires warming before serving, as opposed to a pie that needs to be assembled and fully baked from scratch. Similarly, frozen pizzas that are sold as "already baked" are intended for a quick reheating. The convenience of alreadybaked items often appeals to consumers looking for time-saving options in meal preparation. It can also imply a certain level of quality or consistency, as the baking process has been controlled by the manufacturer. The opposite of alreadybaked would be raw or uncooked ingredients that require full preparation and cooking.
