baked

Cooked by dry heat

Baked means cooked in an oven using dry heat: freshly baked bread.

She baked a cake for his birthday.

Baked also describes something hardened by heat: baked clay, baked earth.

In slang, baked means very high on marijuana: We got baked and ate everything in the fridge.

The connection may be from feeling slow and warm, or from the heat of smoking.
