Get very hot regularly in Black Sea (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bake

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get very hot' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'regularly in black sea' is the wordplay.
'regularly in' means one should take alternating letters.
'black'+'sea'='blacksea'
The alternating letters of 'blacksea' are 'BAKE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bake that I've seen before include "Oven-cook" , "Biscuit" , "Cook in a hot oven" , "Cook (cakes, etc)" , "Cook cake or bread" .)
