What about roasted peanuts? The article on peanuts lists roasting as a possible cause of allergies in North America. It says they are not roasted in India or China, where they are widely consumed, but there are few peanut allergies.

[edit] Fundimental Differences between Roasting and Baking

what are they? --Hm2k 17:19, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

In case anyone still wants to know a year later, roasting is high temperature, while baking is medium to low temperature.--Christopher Tanner, CCC 04:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Do we not "roast" a Turkey at a low temperature or inside round?

Roasting and baking is the same thing. To cook something in a dry, warm or hot, environment. Roasting refers to cooking meats while baking refers to cooking pastries, cakes and breads. Traveler11125 05:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roasting terms

In britain 'joint' refers to the cut of meat, not the method used to cook it. It usually refers to leg or shoulder. Also we tend to say roast chicken or roast veg rather than roasted.

[edit] Coffee

I don't like the paragraph on coffee in this article. IMHO it should be a couple sentences on how coffee starts green and is processed by roasting, and maybe a little description of generally how it's done, or something like that. The details here are more appropriate for the article on coffee roasting. 24.128.68.185 (talk) 23:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
