Hi,
Can someone help me understand this question? First of all I have been told roasting gives you a crispy skin.. (carmelization).Like roasted potatoes. And in baking you don't get this ...maybe brown,but mostly baking involves even heat distribution through out the item. I determine roasting to have a crispy skin by use of oil or butter on it. So my question is say a recipe says baked pork chop and its done by first searing with little oil the meat in a skillet on the stove, than rest of cooking you finish in the oven. And another recipe says its called roasted pork chops same procedure as baked pork chops no differrence,and all baked in oven at 350. Why is one called baked and the other roasted,both made the same way? Also I would like to say I read roasted and bake have a same or similar overall method of food being cooked...dry heat,it is just the techniques that are different. (Found at ehow ....difference between baking ,broiling and roasting) Any help with this I would appr.(newbie in cooking)
