Maybe the heat wasn't high enough? How do you cook them on the stove? Or maybe you just like it better!
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

ION, I'm watching African American Lives from PBS, and it totally makes me want to do geneology! I want to know about my family's Honky American lives!

Salmon and trout both turn out much better oven-roasted than stovetop. I'd stick to sautee pans for shellfish, though.
Oven roasted potatoes, pepeers, and brocolli/cauliflower are quite nummy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think my only candidate for that category is Melanie Moore. Brad Pitt left the semester before I arrived.

IMO, most things are tastier roasted w/o fat than cooked stovetop w/o fat. Exceptions are things that cook really fast - shrimp - and things you don't actually want cooked evenly - steak/tuna/potstickers.
Dry cooking methods concentrate flavors by evaporating moisture & browning surfaces. In a pan, you have heat coming from one direction, so if you want even cooking you have to stand at the stove and monitor your ingredient, turning it, shaking the pan, etc. Or you can stick the whole thing in the oven where it's surrounded by even ambient heat and leave it there until it's done. So even if you can "pan-roast" almost anything you can oven-roast, the oven saves you a lot of active cooking time.

Oddly, for a place with no theater department or major, and very little in the way of facilities or encouragement, we've turned out quite a number of performing grads in the past ten years! Brad Cooper and Birbigs being two of the better known, but as I said, I hear several of the folks are having some minor fame.

Corn on the cob roasted is awesome. Unfortunately, I have not yet figured out how to do this with a broiler in such a manner as it fails to catch my house on fire. I have done it successfully on a grill, however.

My grandparents' neighbor used to sometimes cook with the dishwasher. Corn on the cob was one of those things. Wrapped well in foil, all of it. I'm pretty sure it was a novelty approach. Cause, really.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've had salmon cooked in the dishwaser. It was good.
