Overview

烤箱（kǎoxiāng）是一个常见的厨房用具，它的主要功能是通过加热来烹饪食物。无论是制作蛋糕、烤面包，还是烘烤肉类和蔬菜，烤箱都扮演着重要的角色。现代家庭中，烤箱已经成为不可或缺的一部分。

烤箱的使用通常涉及设定温度和时间。用户需要根据食谱的要求，将烤箱预热到指定温度，然后将食物放入烤箱中进行烘烤。烘烤过程中，可以通过观察窗来监控食物的状态。烤箱的种类很多，有电烤箱、燃气烤箱、嵌入式烤箱和台式烤箱等，功能和操作方式略有不同。

烤箱最常出现在家庭厨房、餐厅后厨、面包店和蛋糕店等地方。在家庭中，人们用它来制作早餐（如烤面包片）、烘焙甜点（如饼干、蛋糕）以及烹饪晚餐（如烤鸡、烤鱼）。在商业场所，烤箱是专业厨师制作各种烘焙食品和烤制菜肴的必备工具。

与‘微波炉’（wēibōlú）相比，烤箱主要通过干热来烹饪，能够使食物表面产生焦脆感，适合烘焙和烤制。微波炉则是利用微波辐射加热食物，速度快，但食物容易变得湿软，更适合加热剩菜或快速烹饪。‘空气炸锅’（kōngqìzhàguō）虽然也能达到类似烤箱的酥脆效果，但其工作原理和容量通常与传统烤箱有所不同，更侧重于模仿油炸的口感。
