Remember this!
Broil and roast are both cooking methods that use heat to cook food. However, the difference between broil and roast lies in the heat source, cooking time, temperature, texture, and cooking vessel. Broiling involves cooking food quickly with direct heat from above, resulting in a crispy exterior. On the other hand, roasting is a slower cooking process that uses indirect heat from all sides, resulting in a tender and juicy interior.
