What is the difference between roasting and baking, since they are both referring to cooking something in an oven?

You're viewing a single thread.
The 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.
Yes! I think you nailed it.
My oven has a dial for mode that invites bake, roast, and broil, and a second dial for temperature.
Well broil is usually running the top element constantly to get browning on the top of the food, sometimes with a couple intensity levels
I'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.
What’s happening at less than 350?
Slow baking I guess
It won't be well roasted.
Depending on the type of food, certain parts of it might still be raw.
