How do you preheat an oven?

Answer 1

turn the oven to the baking/cooking temp before you actually start putting stuff together - with the goal being the oven will be at full baking/cooking temp a couple of minutes before you're ready to put your stuff in.

Answer 2

you turn on the oven with the temp. that is required in the recipe: eg: bake at 350 degrees, so you turn the dial to 350 a red light comes on, when the temp hits 350 degrees the red light turns off, now the oven has been preheated and is ready to bake your cake or pie Preheat means to warm the oven up to the required temperature before using it (putting in the food). Turn the oven on with the settings required in the recipe (eg. fan, oven or grill and temperature say, 350F) and let it warm up for 5 or 10 minutes or until the thermostat indicates it has reached that temperature. (This may be shown by a small indicator light on the front going off).

Answer 3
