I find it quite ironic that cookies are baked...
and other foods like hamburgers or whatever are cooked.
Any one else find this strange?? Any insights??

i guess for the same reason we have doctors that "practice medicine" and park in the driveway and drive on a parkway.....it is what it is-the way our strange english language works

Cooking and baking are terms used in food preparation but are different. Baking is always done in the oven (or enclosed space). Cooking can be done in/on any temperature controlled surface. Baking uses formulas while cooking uses ingredients

I'm not sure you understand the meaning of the word 'ironic'. If it were said that cookies are fried when they're actually baked, that might be sort of ironic because cookies are obviously not fried. However since cookies are baked it is not remotely ironic to say that they are baked.

"Bake" means to cook in the oven. "Cook" is on top of the stove. It's not strange...I can bake something great! I can't cook to save my life! Needless to say...at gatherings I bring the dessert and others bring the "menu" items!

It's not strange because if you bake cookies, I'll still be cooked because it's done.It makes sense to me

Baking is in the oven, on top is cooking.
