What is the deal with the term "preheat?"?

Asked by ChrisIsNotHERE (6points) February 26th, 2010

I’ve always wondered why this word is used so often when talking about oven use. Is it just a misnomer like “near-miss?” Does it literally mean what the word implies (heating it up before you heat it up)?
