Hi thought I would ask in here with all the experienced bakers. my oven seems sooo slow to heat. could I ask how long it normally takes for your oven to reach 190 degress on bake approx. mine is taking 35 mins and I'm sure that can't be normal !

Mine takes about 3 minutes! It is a new very flash oven but 35 minutes seems a very long time!

Even an older stove should do it in 10 to 15 minutes.

Check your oven/opening seals, this is the key area of proper heating.
If it takes a while then how accurate is your temperature, perhaps put in an oven thermometer to check and may need a full service.

Never timed it but probably around 10 mins. My oven is about 8 years old.

I bought a new one 4months ago and the manual recommends heating for 30 minutes, its not a fan or fancy one.

Mine takes 10mins, it was taking about 30 mins before I got an electrician out and he told me an element had gone. I hadn't even realised, so yes, get it checked if there is no obvious sign.

About 10/15 mins at guess.
New last year and love it to bits. Bottom (small oven) grill is 1000% better than the old and I have to keep an eye on the cheese on toast these days!

Old oven here and about 10/15 mins to heat up - usually if I'm baking I allow at least 20mins for oven to heat up
