Answers:
it can take as long as you want it can take 5 minutes or you can just put it on when you start, that's what i usually do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on the oven of course, but set the temperature about 10 degrees above what is required, then when that is achieved, place food in oven and after 2 or 3 minutes turn oven to recommended temperature for the food you are cooking!.
pre-heating your oven is not an essential, providing you ensure your food is fully cooked!.

If your oven is not pre-heated, just allow more cooking time!.

Always check before cooking frozen food, if it has to be thoroughly defrosted before cooking!.

Hope this will help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if the package says preheat at 350, when you turn your stove onto 350 a light will come on telling you that the stove or burner is turned on, when it reaches that temperature that stove will cut out the light will go off letting you know it has reached the desired temp to prevent it from getting hotter and thats when it is pre-heated at 350 or whatever the case maybeWww@FoodAQ@Com

it depends on the temp you set your oven to, but on average 5 min for 375!. just when it hits pre heated temp, allow to heat for 5 min longer, because the temp will stay constant when you open the door, otherwise, most of the heat will disapate when you open the door!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

About ten minutes for 350 degrees F!. Most modern ovens will beep when the desired temperature is reached, based on the setting you chose!. The higher the setting of course, the longer the preheat time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

there should be a light somewhere on the oven to tell you when its the right temperature!. Mine is just next to the wee oven knob thing - its just a wee red light and it goes off when its at the right temperature!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You should be able to hear the oven kick off when it reaches a specific temp!. that is if it is a gas or propane oven!. If it is electric there should be a temp light!. Usually it takes about 5-7min!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on the oven and whether it has a fan or not,

fan ovens can pre-heat in 2-3 minutes slow convection ovens can take up to 15 minutes to get to proper heat (especially ones with underpowered elements)Www@FoodAQ@Com

About 5 minutes!.!.!.just until the oven reaches the required temperature!.
If it needs to be 200 you will hear the thermostat click or see the light go out when it reaches that heat!. !!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on your oven and what temperature it needs to heat to!. But your oven will have a light that goes off when it's preheated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

depends on the oven, but probably 10 -15 min!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The stove usually beeps when it is done preheating!. If not I would wait about 10 minutesWww@FoodAQ@Com
