why do i need to preheat the fucking oven everytime i want to do something with it

Because of consistency. Different ovens heat up at different rates, thus it would be impossible to write recipes given you don't know how quickly the cook's oven heats. However if you pre-heat the oven then there is a known starting point.

Also, many foods you want to actively brown, not just cook. If you put food into a warm-but-not-hot oven it will sort of steam cook rather than get that nice browning that you want.

Mine is legitimately broken I think, it's old as fuck but heats up in about 2 minutes to an acceptable temperature to start throwing stuff in.

Feels great not having this problem man

You actually don't. It's actually a conspiracy by large energy companies buying out cookbooks or shows to make you use more electricity.

if it's just a frozen nugget or fries you can heat it up as low and slow as you want. it's just cold
