[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 6 points 3 years ago (2 children) You bake a cake and you roast meat or potatoes. I think its what you cook. In my owen i cook both with the same heat mode, not from "top" or "bottom". permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] partsofspeech87@lemm.ee 5 points 3 years ago Not sure about this. I’ve baked chicken and fish before. I think the temperature also plays a role in which word we use. I think roast implies a hotter temperature. Roasted chicken would have crispy skin and juicy flesh, whereas baked chicken is kind of the same all the way through. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Newmain@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Roast potatoes permalink fedilink source parent
