Definition
加热 (jiā rè) means 'to heat up' an object by applying external heat (e.g., with a microwave or stove). Unlike 烧 (shāo), which implies cooking or burning, 加热 is a neutral, general verb. It also differs from 升温 (shēng wēn), which describes a temperature rise (often intransitive or figurative).
