My air fryer oven takes about 5 minutes, then it beeps and all you have to do is push the start button and the timer starts to tick down to shutting off automatically.

Thats in the Laundry room will preheat about twice as fast as my new GE in the kitchen, They both bake perfectly but the new one cycles between bake and broil on preheat, the Westinghouse has the bottom element on full and the broil on half voltage until hot. |

Well it depends on what you are doing with the oven. A roast or potatoes you really don't need to pre heat. If you are doing a cake or bread you want the heat to stabilize, so a long pre heat is optimal. for bread I pre heat 25-30 minutes with a baking stone or cloche. |

I read somewhere but don't recall where as it was a long time ago that if you are using a convection oven and cooking for more than 10 minutes it was not necessary to preheat the oven. I normally preheat anyway because it seems like you should, but this particular read said it was not necessary. It may have been for a particular convection oven I had as I have had a number of them over the years.
Anyone else ever read this? |

I bake most of our bread and stopped preheating the oven long ago and found no significant difference at all. I just let the loaves rise in their pans second from the bottom rack about 40 minutes then turn it on to 350 and set the timer for 33 minutes and voila. It's the same concept as a bread machine which doesn't preheat.
Nor do I preheat for any type of casserole or anything in a covered pot.. For cookies and cakes that bake for shorter periods of time then yes I preheat But overall it's a waste of time and power. |

I had an interesting occurrence after Thanksgiving--I spatchcocked a turkey and cooked it for about 1 hr 20 mins using convection. Worked beautifully--no mess, no stink--great. Except for the next time using the oven (GE Profile Performance) where all the spatters on the broiler elements (which aren't energized using convection) burned off the first time heating the oven. Yecch--nasty!

The 56 GE in the Ogden Wonder Kitchen preheats in 5 to 10 minutes depending on how hot you need it to be. To be fair, the oven cavity is relatively small (the size of the typical apartment-size 24 inch range oven) but for it's day, it was very well-insulated. The broil element is partially engergized during bake in this oven, too, so that helps.
The 62 Flair oven in St-Liboire seems to need a good 10 minutes to get to a moderate baking temperature and can take nearly 20 to get up to the high temps like 475. Once heated, though, it does somehow maintain an even and steady baking temperature. Honestly, I think it bakes some things like cakes and cookies better than the 56 GE! |

So it is slow. 0 to 350 in about 10 minutes. But like others I like to stabilize the temp before baking. The stove top is also 208v (of course) and it is slowwwwwww |
