Nice well explained article. I figured there was some difference, but obviously not enough that most regular ovens don't come with a different sering other than bake and broil. I thought maybe a difference in the phan or method of dry/wet Thank you. Nice well explained article.

According to what i understood, roasting and baking is the same thing but you have to decide when to use one term or the other. I love it. I love the way it was explained.

( I never know when to cover something or not unless otherwise specifically noted) I didn't know the difference between roast/bake, when I googled it this is the first article and thank goodness it was! Thank you! <em>Great question Genevieve and one I need to write an entire post about but to keep it simple, most roasting pans have how low sides and no cover so the hot air can reach more of what you are cooking. The roasting pans that have higher sides and a cover cook the food with steam rather than dry heat roasting. It's a great way to cook some food and I have friends who swear they are the best for cooking turkey. I imagine you could also use the high sided - covered roasting pan for braising big batches of meat and chicken too. But if you want to roast using the dry heat method, I would stick with a low sided roasting pan with no cover. - RG</em> So, if roasting usually occurs in an open pan, why do some roasting pans come with lids?

I recently saw a recipe for roasting eggplant cubes and wondered how different that might be from baking them! (One can still be ignorant and naive at 76.) Your rich explanation is superb and wonderful to read. I'll be eating roasted eggplant cubes tomorrow. Thank you! <em>You are welcome Alan and keep cooking, it keeps you young. -RG</em> I’m 76 years old.
