You typically preheat to the temperature at which you will be cooking.

For example, if a frozen Pizza instructions say to preheat to 450˚, it means

that they want the oven to be up to 450˚ before you put the pizza in for the

designated cooking time.

Until the oven reaches the proper temperature for the dish to be baked. Nearly all modern electric and gas ovens have some method of signaling when the desired temperature has been reached, usually a light or a beeper.

Until it reaches the temperature required for the recipe. Most ovens nowadays have a thermostat with a light that will glow red while the oven is heating and click off when the temperature has been reached.

Oven thermometers are available to hang on the shelf inside the oven and measure the internal temperature.

Failing these, 10 - 15 minutes would be sufficient. By then the oven should be hot enough to begin baking, even if you need to add a little baking time at the other end to ensure the cake is done.

Restrict your opening of the oven when placing the cake in, and during the baking time, to the minimum - heat escapes each time you open the oven door and it takes time for the oven to reach the required temperature again.

It is not necessary to preheat a microwave. Don't try. Running it without something in it can damage the Klystron tube that produces the microwaves.

The time required to preheat an oven will depend on the oven, its insulation, the size of its heating element, and the required temperature. Most ovens have an indicator light on the front panel that shows when the element is working to raise the temperature, and as soon as they reach the temperature the light goes out. Pizza is baked at a high temperature and this may take longer to be reached than a moderate temperature for cake baking.
