You guys actually preheat your ovens? What are you, 60?

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 40 points 7 months ago

I like my food cooked properly

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

Pfft. What are you, 70?

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

Fellas, is it geriatric to not want food poisoning?

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Yup. Oldie. What, got your walker stuck up your ass? You old fuck?

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Jokes on you, whippersnapper! My ass is behind 7 ~~proxies~~ layers of depends!

Yeah... definitely preheat your oven. They do not heat up in a linear fashion and putting your food early does not guarantee it gets cooked all the way

Don't think so. With my current stove I've been absolutely fine with the "target time plus five minutes" rule for everything, from thin pizza to large casseroles.

You cannot make good pizza without a ferociously preheated oven. Few home ovens get properly hot, and the closer you can get the better.

Yeah, homemade pizza is one of the few things I actually use my oven for. I just set that shit on broil when I’m preparing it and throw it in. I was mostly being facetious about not preheating. I mean, the insinuation that people set it to preheat and then go sit back on the couch is a foreign concept to me.

For pizza, we preheat our oven at 25°F higher than the cook temperature, with the pizza stone already in there, then turn it down when we slide the pizza in. Perfectly done crust every time. Before we started doing that, we were experimenting with waiting some number of minutes after the oven said it was done preheating before putting the pizza in (as the preheat sensor doesn't know that the pizza stone takes longer to get to temperature than the air), but the high-temp preheat seems to give better and more consistent results. Our oven also beeps when it's done preheating, so no need for additional timers either!

Is this a meme? I hear people saying this on lemmy and my brain refuses to internalize that there are people who do not preheat their ovens.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

If it’s a meme I’m not aware of it. I was half joking, but the concept of preheating the oven and then waiting for it is insane to me. Turn it on before you start prepping, then pop that shit in. Turning it on and sitting down is straight up crazy behavior
