Hey,
Obviously this going nowhere fast, so I'll try one last time. If you still don't see my point, then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. =)
When the oven is being heated, the food is in three possible states:
1) it is in the oven.
2) it is not in the oven.
3) it is being entered into the oven.
If preheating occurs, then only 2) is a valid state. If heating occurs, then 1), 2) & 3) are valid states.

Once the oven is heated, you can place food, a car battery, or a dead muskrat in there for all I care. It doesn't change the redundancy of "preheat" in the slightest.

... Why 'Once'? Presumably, you can stick stuff in while the oven is heating? After all, we arent preheating here or anything...
