to "bite and bake to gold" is to cut corners and expect everything to turn out well. For example, when baking bread, you can eat ("bite") some of the bread dough, but still bake it "to gold" (golden brown) and having eaten it doesn't matter. usually people use this negatively- i.e."it's not something you can bite and bake to gold"- to essentially mean "don't cut corners".

What lobster parents say when they take a small nip out of their youngsters' tails so that if a lobsterman catches the lobsters sometime later, he has to throw them back. The amended v-notch law now states that if you catch a lobster that has a bit missing from its tail where a v-notch could have been, you have to throw it back, since it might have been previously v-notched by a fisherman to mark it as an egg-bearing female.
