Kaitinimas

Kaitinimas is a Lithuanian term that broadly refers to heating or warming. It encompasses various processes and phenomena involving the increase of temperature. In a culinary context, kaitinimas can describe the cooking of food through heat, such as baking, frying, or boiling. For example, "duonos kaitinimas" would refer to baking bread. In a more general sense, it can also describe warming oneself, as in "rankų kaitinimas prie laužo" (warming hands by the fire). The term is versatile and can be applied to both intentional heating processes and natural occurrences of warming. It is a fundamental concept in everyday life, from preparing meals to managing personal comfort in different temperatures. The specific method or intensity of heating can be further qualified by additional words in Lithuanian, but kaitinimas itself denotes the general act of applying heat.
