I am currently in disgreement with someone else about the nessesity of preheating an electric oven.
He says that it is not nessisary to preheat an electric oven because it takes such a short time to heat up.
I believe that it depends on what you are cooking. If you are cooking a frozen food and you put it in the oven while it is heating up it will affect the qualtiy because while the oven is heating the food will be thawing. If the food is supposed to be put into the fully heated oven while frozen then you should comply with the directions.
Does it really matter?
