Cookery

Never again will you be tortured by culinary vocab confusion.

Bake: Cooking with dry heat (usually in an oven).

Roast: Cooking with dry heat. Actually, technically baking and roasting are identical, although back in the days, roasting meant over a spit.

Grill: Cooking on a grill, usually directly over hot coals, an open fire, or some other heat source.

Broil: Cooking directly under a heat source, usually in a gas or electric oven. Broiling may also mean cooking on a grill, where the heat is under rather than over the food item.
