How it's used

Beyond literal baking, this term is frequently used metaphorically to describe anything that has just been released or made public, such as news, reports, or exam results. It carries a sense of excitement or immediacy, implying that the item is still hot and relevant. It is almost always paired with the adjective 新鮮 to emphasize that the item is brand new.

Examples

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe food that is simply hot or reheated. It specifically implies the moment of completion or creation, so it is incorrect to use it for food that has been sitting on a counter for a while, even if it is still warm.
