      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.

        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

      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

      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.
