Hi Kanha! Great question for the tour groups. "Baking" is usually for foods that lack structure until cooked (like bread, cakes, or pastries). "Roasting" is for foods that already have a solid structure before cooking (like meats or whole vegetables). Both use the oven! 🍞🍖

A "Pan" (like a frying pan) is wide and shallow with one long handle, perfect for frying. A "Pot" is deep with high sides and usually two small handles, perfect for boiling water or making soup! 🍲🍳
