Out of curiosity, what is the difference between roasting and baking. Both
involve cooking with dry heat. Roasting seems to be used more often when
cooking a large chunk of meat, beef, pork, chickens or turkeys, while baking
tends to be used for pies, cakes , cookies etc. Yet, we bake ham. And then
there are "baked beans", which are more like a braised legume.
