Steam from the food combines with dry heat in the oven to cook the food (eg cakes, pastries, etc).
Baking with Increased Humidity
This is introduced to certain food by steam injection or placing a bowl of water in the oven.
au bain marie Baking with Heat Modification (au bain marie)
Food is placed in a container of water to modify the temperature. A cartouche placed over fish cuts during the baking process will maintain a layer of steam. This prevents the fish from drying out and retains juices and flavour.
