prebaked
Cooked before packaging
Prebaked describes food that has been partially or fully baked before sale, requiring only reheating or brief finishing: prebaked pie crusts, prebaked bread rolls.
Extended to other contexts, prebaked means prepared in advance rather than created fresh: The software comes with prebaked templates.
The prefix suggests convenience at the cost of customization.
