Recipes can provide a good recommendation as to the duration and temperature to cook a specific dish. Temperature and duration are simple variables. Makes cooking a given dish from kitchen to kitchen very predictable.
But, ovens heat at different rates. Hence, the pre-heat removes that ramp rate variable..
I also bake at 5-10 degrees less than recommended. My oven is kinda gay.
Oven over does it, definitely gay
