I think cooking has more to do with meats, vegetables, etc. while baking deals with wheats (breads, cakes, cookies) and is generally, but not always, sweet. I have more experience with baking but no preference. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with Kiora because cooking involves more stove-top usage and preparing meats/vegetables like she said, whereas baking involves more sweets, bread, etc. and using the oven. It's hard to choose... I prefer baking mostly because I like baked goods such as cookies, brownies, and bread, but I also love the process of rolling out the dough, etc. :-)
DeleteI agree with Kiora that I do have more experience with baking but enjoy both cooking and baking. -Melissa Mullins Period 4
DeleteBaking is when you are putting some sort of food like a cake, muffins, or cookies in the oven and the treat rises. Cooking is when you expose food to more action when making. Baking is a form of cooking using heat/oven.
ReplyDeleteYeah I think so too. -Gillian Rideaux
Deleteya i agree
DeleteI agree! ~Danielle Withers per. 6
Deletei agree - Nicole Chavez period 4
DeleteI also think that baking has more do do with sweets in the oven, while cooking is more savory foods maybe on the stove. -Gillian Rideaux
ReplyDeletei agree :) -Brayden Arnold.
DeleteI agree. -Leslie Valera
DeleteThe difference between cooking an baking is that cooking has to do with more meats and vegetables, and you use the stove for it. Baking is more about breads and doughy things and you use the oven for it. -Blake Motoyasu Period 6
ReplyDeleteAlso, I prefer cooking in the kitchen, because it requires you to be more active with your hands than baking. -Blake Motoyasu Period 6
ReplyDeletebaking is the use of an oven over the use of a stove?
ReplyDeleteBaking has to do with more wheat products (breads, cakes, cookies, etc.) cooking has more to do with meats and vegetables. Baking is usually done in the oven and cooking is typically done on the stove. I do not have a preference I like both. ~Danielle Withers per. 6
ReplyDeleteTypically baking is done in the oven and uses wheat products. Also, baked goods tend to be desserts or breads. Cooking is usually done on the stove and uses meats and vegetables. I enjoy both cooking and baking. -Melissa Mullins Period 4
ReplyDeleteBaking is done with with wheat and flour. Its is done with an oven. Yeast is needed to bake. Things you bake are like bread and cake. Cooking can be done with applience and has variety of ingridents.
ReplyDeleteI do not have a preference.
ReplyDeleteBaking to me, is more sweets, breads, flour, ect. While cooking is more with with the proteins, vegis, and fruits. I don't prefer one over the other, they're both great! -Brayden Arnold, Period 4.
ReplyDeleteCooking is preparing food with a flame where baking is preparing food without a flame. cooking tends to be on a stove and baking tends to be in the oven. I don't prefer one over the other, but if I had to choose I would pick cooking, because I use the stove more then the oven.
ReplyDeleteI think that cooking is more on a stove or with an open flame while baking is not an open flame and is more in the oven. I like both but prefer cooking because it requires you to do more work. -Leslie Valera period 6
ReplyDeleteBaking is when you use more wheats to make things such as breads, pies, cakes etc and deal with the oven. Cooking consists of more variate of foods and the stove top is often used. I do not have a preference over cooking or baking. - Nicole Chavez period 4
ReplyDeleteBaking is done in the oven and cooking is done on the stove top. I prefer cooking on a stove top because it is a quicker cooking process and I love the aroma
ReplyDeletebaking is done mostly in a oven and is usually sweets and treats. cooking is usually done on the stovetop and makes more stationary foods.
