Bad thermostat? Bad gas valve so oven never gets enough gas to reach temperturs? And can you put the dial on wrong so it's not set at zero when off. It could be that the thermostat is faulty, or it could be down to a simple human error such as having accidentally left the oven door ajar. Another possibility might be that your gas pressure is low- if the latter, this would be a fault in the pipeline and not with the oven itself. Whatever the reason, I don't advise you to try and fix it yourself, for safety's sake- call out a service engineer.

it is because the gas needs to travle through the pipe and then to the burner. For safety the natural gas used by your gas oven is kept out from the oven/stove until needed or else the remaining gas could combust and leave you homeless

hope this helped;)

Depending on the type of oven, the pilot light may be out, or if it's a newer model there may be something wrong with the glow plug (igniter).

If an oven is not getting as hot as it is supposed to it may be the heating element. This can be replaced in under 20 minutes and you can replace it yourself.

What is the time to preheat oven before baking cake and pizza?

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. Some ovens can take less than 5 minutes and some may take up to 20 to reach a temperature.

Does a stove reach a medium temperature faster if you turn it on high first?

The element will always use full available power if you are starting from a cool oven. (Some high end ovens wont do it this way). However if you want to go from say 350 to 400 the oven will usually get hotter faster if you set it to 500 (or broil) first. Then turn it down at 400. This will not work on all ovens.Idea: you can tell the temperature of the oven by turning knob down until light goes off. at that point on the dial you can read the current temperature of the oven. Warning - the oven will turn the elements off with this method and may wear them out because of too fast cooling and heating. They are made for that but can still shorten life. be as quick as you can so off time is as short as possible.
