    The issue is from the element getting too hot while warming the oven up. Some ovens have features that warm the oven slower while still cooking some food correctly. Doesn’t work for baking obviously.

    It winds up being a Little faster on my oven than preheat and cook. Adds about 8 minutes while preheating can be around 15-20.

      when i was a kid, our ovens (🥑 green!) had a separate pre-heat setting and if you forgot to switch it to ‘bake’, it really messed up what you were trying to make.
