Re: Warming the oven?
It will probably surprise you to know that I am an absolute stickler when it comes to temperature and cooking times for my food...I have a thermometer placed in the oven and nothing goes in there until is up to the required temperature.
I would much rather have my food slightly overcooked than having bad guts from eating food that is undercooked. And if those who don't pre-heat their ovens give their food five minutes extra to allow, where are they saving?..
I cook all my hot food in a gas oven, I have never, ever, owned a microwave and never will...
In my opinion it's a lazy way of cooking just to save time. It can be compared to those people who remove their shoes without undoing the laces...Very Slovenly!
