Sütésben

Sütésben is a Hungarian linguistic term used primarily in culinary contexts to indicate that food is prepared by baking in an oven. The word derives from sütés, the noun for baking, with the inessive suffix -ben, yielding "in baking" or "in the oven." In Hungarian recipe writing and on menus, sütésben is used to describe the method of cooking rather than the final form of the dish.

Grammatically, sütésben is the inessive form of sütés. It functions as an adverbial modifier indicating the process or location (in the oven).

Usage examples include Hungarian phrases such as "A torta a sütőben van" (The cake is in the oven) and "A kenyér sütésben készült" (The bread was prepared by baking). In English-language culinary writing one would usually translate sütésben as "baked" or "in the oven" rather than as a stand-alone term.

Compared with related terms, sütésben emphasizes the baking process or location, whereas sütve or sült denotes the finished baked item. Sütésben thus functions as a method descriptor rather than a standalone dish name.
