You should always preheat equipment such as ovens and fryers so that they are cooking at the correct temperature when the food is placed in it. This will ensure proper even cooking of the food. If you are using an electric stove, you may want to preheat your pans because it takes so long for electric heating elements to come to temperature, compared to gas burners. If your recipe says to cooks at medium for 15 minutes, you won't be at "medium" on an electric stove for several of those 15 minutes unless you preheat.

How long does it take to bake chicken on a pizza stone?
Cooking time for chicken on a pizza stone depends on the thickness of the chicken and the temperature of the oven.Make sure the stone is thoroughly preheated before putting the chicken on it. The stone should be added to a cold oven and allowed to preheat slowly as the oven rises in temperature. Allow at least 45 minutes to preheat the stone and longer for thick stones.Cooking on a stone is done at very high oven temperatures, so is only suitable for thinner cuts of chicken meat, to ensure they cook completely in the short time they can be at this high temperature without drying out. Any chicken over about 2cm thick is not suitable for this method.
