The scope of this category needs to be clarified.

"Baked goods" normally refers to cakes, cookies, and other sweet foods. But this category seems to include anything cooked in an oven... except things that are called "roast" (like roast chicken)... but there is no Category:Roasted foods.

If this category should include everything cooked in an oven, I'd suggest renaming it to Category:Baked foods. We should also add Category:Roasted foods. --Macrakis (talk) 17:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It still seems to me peculiar that this category includes Gratin, Baked potato, Chicken Kiev (which is normally fried, though sometimes baked), Meatloaf, etc.

The OED isn't much help. It defines baked goods as "articles of food (such as bread, cakes, and pastries) that are cooked in an oven. So the definition seems to be anything baked in an oven, but the examples are all of bread and pastries. Merriam-Webster is a bit clearer: "a food (such as a bread, cake, or cookie) made from a dough or batter that is baked" [1]. --Macrakis (talk) 20:12, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This has been resolved by splitting to a new parent category:Baked foods, per consensus at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_August_2#Category:Baked_goods. – Fayenatic London 21:28, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
