A little help required!

In a recipe it says this:

'Drizzle a little olive oil on them, then some salt and pepper, and roast in the oven for 10 minutes. I finished them by broiling for 3 or 4 minutes. "

Now by roasting does he mean "grill" (in the oven)?

And broiling?
What the hell does that mean? From what I gather it's just sticking it in the oven for X amount of time.
Or am I wrong?

To me broil means to grill at high heat but don’t quote me on that. Roast means to shove it in the oven as is lol.

Sorry I’m not much help.

Roast means the same as bake. Broil means to place the pan at the highest oven rack and cook at a very high heat. In the U.S. there's an oven setting called "broil". It turns on the heating elements at the top of the oven only (and not the bottom ones). You would use this when you want the top of the food to get brown and crispy, while not overcooking the underside.

Roasting uses the same all-over heat as baking but at higher temperatures. Yes in the oven

Broiling uses top-down heat at high and extra-high temperatures to brown or crisp the top of food. Broil setting turns the top elements on in your oven to make things crisper..

I only know, in East Germany, a whole roasted chicken is called "broiler". It's roasted on a rotisserie on a high heat.

Ah, so actually it's the other way round from what I thought:
Top heat only is what we call "grill" here, that setting on the oven is hence also "grill".

And then roasting is normal oven, top & bottom heat, at high temp.

Interesting... thank you!

Is that called "broiler" in German as well???
We don't have that word in Dutch, hence my confusion.
The rotating thing with a chicken is "Rotisserie" in English (I just Googled it, hihi), we call that "draaispit" or "turnspit"

Dang, looking up all these terms just confuses me more, haha.

In Dutch "Grill" means to roast, but apparently in English "to roast" is not grilling but sticking it in the oven. Pffff...

Broiler chickens are raised primarily for meat rather than to lay eggs. These poultry are often white and are bred to be large and very healthy, often with more breast meat for the consumer market. Broiler chicken breeds grow very fast and offer good value in terms of protein and calories.

To add more confusion, "grilling" in Irish slang means, putting someone down, roaring at somebody, etc :sweat_smile:

But yeah, the "Drehspiess" in German. Like a Kebab, but horizontally.

Aye. And mass production too feed the people, was quite common in former East Germany. I had the opportunity to visit one of these sites, because I had relatives in the East. It was in the countryside and them chicken were all roaming free.
