minus-squareMaharashtra@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down2·edit-211 months agoThe type of food and temperature is what makes the most of the difference. Roasting is 400F/~200C and above, baking starts at 350F/~150C, I believe.
minus-squareShimitar@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·11 months agoYes! I think you nailed it.
minus-squareHobbes@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoMy oven has a dial for mode that invites bake, roast, and broil, and a second dial for temperature.
minus-squarePlayer2@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoWell broil is usually running the top element constantly to get browning on the top of the food, sometimes with a couple intensity levels
minus-squareHobbes@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·11 months agoI’m aware of what broil is. I burn stuff I’m broiling all the time because I’m forgetful. It’s bake/roast that is at issue here.
