ok, let me define the terms:
Broil: The heat source is at the top of your oven, and it gets hotter than 500 degrees. That is why the broil setting on the knob of your oven is further than the hottest setting. This is good to use as a substitute for a grill if you do not have one. Be very careful using the broil setting, as you can burn your food extremely fast.
Roast: Pertains to cooking anything in the oven savory (not sweet), but mostly means at a higher temperature (350-450 degrees). Roasted meats and vegetables are common.
Bake: Pertains exclusively to cakes and breads. Generally done at a lower temperature than either broiling or roasting.
