  Lucky you! I’ve never in my life used an oven that took less than 15 minutes to pre heat at the bare minimum

    You need to close the door

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

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

    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

        Most electric ovens are. 220-240v anyway.

        I’ve never seen an electric oven that wasn’t 240 volts.

      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.

    No its electric.

    Could be a US low voltage issue? Since im European.

      It’s ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element

        But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A…

        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).

      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.

      That’s probably true. Our electric kettles heat up much slower too for the same reason.

      • BakerBagel@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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

    My oven won’t go higher than 275.

    • Nikko882@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

        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.
