How Do You Know How Long to Preheat a Gas Oven Prior to Baking Something?
Hi, All!
In recent days, I've been enjoying getting into baking using my gas oven. Most of the directions for what I bake call for preheating the oven. I have yet to see any directions that tell as to how long to preheat the oven.
Sure, I could stick a thermometer in the oven. However, as an additional question, when a person sets the oven temperature, wouldn't it stay that temperature, no matter how long the oven has been preheating?
I just baked brownies in a large, aluminum pan. I ended up taking them out of the oven about ten minutes before the allotted time as specified in the directions. I had let the oven preheat for about twenty minutes because I was off doing some other things.
Thanks!
