Definition
焗 is a bound form (b.f.) used in compound words. It has two main uses: in cooking, it means 'to steam-bake in a covered pot' — a technique common in Cantonese cuisine (e.g. 盐焗鸡 'salt-baked chicken'). In hair care, it means 'to apply a heat treatment' (焗油 'hair conditioning treatment'). You won't encounter 焗 standing alone; it always appears as a morpheme inside a longer word.
