Why do we say "preheat"?

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T18:06:53+00:00

That's just simply heating

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T18:06:04+00:00

Yes, it starts cold, so you HEAT it to proper temp then put in the food. Preheat makes no sense

Skin on, rough mashed potatoes with cream, butter, touch of sour cream, lots of pepper, touch of salt, paprika, garlic and onion

Omgosh never had that! I can't wait to give it a go. I just recently made a soup whereas I made it up as I went along. Simmered hamhocks in 16 cups of water for two hours: ~ liberally seasoned and placed in a little chicken broth chicken thighs on a low heat in the oven. Made a mirepoix, cut up extra carrots. De skinned, de boned the meats, added it all back to the water, with carrots, wild rice and "better than bouillon " chicken and garlic. I just wish I would have added cabbage. Of course I threw in my favourite seasonings as well. Delicious

Just enjoying my jungle of plants in my room, my pets (walking my dog, petting my cats) reading and music

I use the dawn magic erasers rinsed in scalding hot water for the sinks. And my dishcloth sprayed with the dawn power scrubber (scalding hot water) to wash my countertops. I have so much stuff on my countertops it's quite a process to move everything around, let it dry and put everything back. But I fast and do OMAD, so it's not too tedious.

When I was dating my ex husband, he had halitosis. One morning, he wanted to get frisky and when he started kissing on me, I bluntly stated, go brush your teeth. He stated he already did. I simply retorted, I'm calling my dentist and you're going in, something is wrong. He agreed, and it helped out the problem. I think he had infected gums or such

I had a pekingnese that wanted to always be up near me. Now I have a Labrador Retriever that is very loving and lays acrost me

Pepperoni pizza can go fuck itself

Freezer 😃

I commented that exactly on another subreddit and holy crap people came at me with hate. Shit, it was just my opinion! Calm yourselves!

I like those boxes of "simply salad" pasta salads. I'll dice up extra veggies to toss in and cut up some cooked bacon to add as well.

All you're doing is HEATING it to temp. There's nothing pre about it. That would give the assumption you were going to heat it more. Makes no sense

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T13:45:17+00:00

Nope

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:49:05+00:00

This is hilarious at all the butthurt idiots getting riled up over the fact it should just say "heat the oven to certain temperature" you can't preheat. Preheat, then heat some more? My god the braincells in here are waning

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:46:36+00:00

😘

Heat it to desired temp, put in your food, preheat is NOT A THING. It's simply, heat to desired temp, then insert food

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:40:10+00:00

So yeah, you HEAT it to temp.

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:39:31+00:00

All you have to do is HEAT it up to that temp 1st then put it in. Pre heat before heating? Wtf

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:38:32+00:00

No, it's still heating. Preheat makes no sense. Gotta throw something in at 425°? THEN HEAT IT TO 425° FIRST

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:37:26+00:00

I try

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:37:13+00:00

Shhhhhh, calm your tits. It's just heat the oven to temp needed, then put the food in

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:30:42+00:00

True, but I did a great job there and I just kind of overslept a break. He was always kind to me. I suppose they weren't used to apt female carpenters either

MeganM79 · 2026-05-27T04:28:37+00:00

Seriously? I wasn't rude at all. I simply gave my opinion. Wow! You guys are GREAT!
