I guess if it helps i'm baking cookies that contain flour, but the recipe i read off the web didn't say what degrees to preheat to. Also how exactly do you pre-heat your oven (sorry my very inexperienced cooking wise)

There is no specific temperature in general that an oven should be pre-heated to. Consult the back of the package or recipe. Pre-heating gets the oven to the cooking temperature for your specific dish.

Most cookies bake at around 375 degrees. To preheat, turn on the oven, set the temperature, and wait until the light goes off, indicating the oven is set at the right temp.

'Pre heating' refers to getting your oven up to the temperature you want to cook something at. For cookies, usually 325 or 350 is the temperature you would use. Food cooks much better and more evenly when you preheat the oven. Otherwise, you'd be sticking something into a cold oven and then it would be getting up to temperature with food in there...you don't want that. When baking or roasting or doing anything in the oven, you want the oven to be the temperature that the food should cook at when you put the food in. That's what pre heating does.

preheating is simply turning the oven on to the desired bake temp of the dish you are cooking.this ensures an accurate bake-time.Any recipe should say what degrees the oven should be.If it doesn't specifically say "preheat to x degrees"turn it on to whatever temperature the recipe says to bake it.I have a newer model,the default pre-heat is 350 degrees.Hope that helps

in general, the basic "pre-heat" temp for baked foods like cookies and cakes should be 350 degrees, for any type of meats on average it should be 425 degrees. be sure to use an internal oven thermometer this should insure that the oven temp setting is the actual temp, or if it doesn't match, let's say it's off by 10+ degrees, then just set your temp 10+ degrees higher...

pre heating should always be between 300 - 350... for about 7 - 10 minutes....
