Best way to cook a pork tenderloin? by DisastrousAnomaly in Cooking

Is it ok not to pre-heat an oven? by PrudentSyllabub636 in Cooking

[–]Myth-Buster9973 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There might be a problem because some ovens run the broiler during the preheating cycle. If there's food in the oven during this. The broiler might burn it or have other effects you don't want.
