Is it gas? Getting an electric oven to 450 usually takes 15 minutes.

gmtom@lemmy.world 3 months agoMy oven heats up in like 3-5 mins

I thought you guys had 240v circuits precisely for this kind of load? On a decent 30a 230v circuit (they generally don't use anywhere near 30a though) here in Europe it takes considerably less than that. I'd say mine takes 5-8mins for 230c (which is around 450f) and it has a rated power of 3500w.

Most of our ovens aren’t hooked up to 240v
scutiger@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Most electric ovens are. 220-240v anyway.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I’ve never seen an electric oven that wasn’t 240 volts.
bitchkat@lemmy.world 3 months ago
My Beko oven takes about 25 minutes to preheat to 450. Yes, its 240 volts.

I guess it likely comes down to power rating, then. Also, with our old oven it used to take around 2x the time the current one does. That was just because the seal on the door was old and worn.
gmtom@lemmy.world 3 months ago
No its electric.
Could be a US low voltage issue? Since im European.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
It’s ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A…
BakedGoods@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
It’s possible he’s running it at 120v if the electrician did a bad job in the kitchen. 400v ovens are fairly common where I live and can run on 240v in a pinch (even if it’s not recommended).
Unforeseen@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
Ah Yeah maybe, Canadian but North America as a whole is the same standard of 240v for ovens. It could also be I’ve only used lower end ovens lol.
CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That’s probably true. Our electric kettles heat up much slower too for the same reason.
BakerBagel@midwest.social 3 months ago
The only large appliances that aren’t running 220-240v in the US are the refrigerator and dishwasher .Ovens, washing machines, tumble dryers, furnaces, and water heaters are all on 240 volts.

450F takes my older electric oven less than five minutes, jeeeeez
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 months ago
My oven won’t go higher than 275.
Nikko882@lemmy.world 3 months ago
OP is talking about Fahrenheit, but didn’t say so for whatever reason. Most ovens I’ve seen also max out around 275 Celcius.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 months ago
That’s not even an over that’s like… a warm box

275° is enough to 3D print most plastics.

Just tested my air frier and it’s takes about 2 minutes, but obviously, it’s way more energy efficient. Plus easier clean up. I can just throw a bunch of fries and chicken strips in there and it’s good to go. Whereas with an oven I’d probably need to buy a special rack or something so all the oils don’t stick to the bottom of the fries. Plus heating up all that empty space!

I thought that was the case with my gas oven, until I had a timer running one day and realized it was actually more like 10 minutes to get to 450.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Lucky you! I’ve never in my life used an oven that took less than 15 minutes to pre heat at the bare minimum
BakedGoods@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
You need to close the door

How do you know it’s hot enough otherwise?? Checkmate
