A long, long, time ago, Betty Crocker, Uncle Ben, Aunt Jemima, the Keebler Elves, Chef Boyardee, and the Jolly Green Giant all met to discuss matters of cooking. Not unlike the great disarmament talks between the makers of Nerf Rocket Launchers and Super Soaker Water Blasters, there was great debate and even greater disagreement. The issue of preheating the oven was of course a hot topic. After the giant mistakenly (or so he insists) stepped on one of the elves, a quick compromise was reached. Preheating the oven became a standard requirement for cooking directions. Whether or not it is really necessary has become a debatable topic in history.
Also, it is important to note that the meeting took place before the invention of Microwave ovens. A second conference was scheduled to deal with the new technology, but threats of "Baking the Doughboy!" caused a cancellation for security reasons. A new meeting was never arranged.
