In which she wails at kitchenware

My new Pyrex glassware says that it must be used in a preheated oven only.

My new Marinex glassware says that it must not be used in a preheated oven under any circumstances.

a) How on earth am I going to remember which is which, and
b) WHY?


[In shinier news, the New Zealand government has agreed to delay the implementation of guilt-upon-accusation in the new Copyright Amendment Act. "[T]he Creative Freedom Foundation's high-volume "blackout" campaign [...] will now go down in history as the first viral internet campaign to stop - or at least delay - a law." This is rocksome on many levels.]

I know there are cakes that have to go straight into a hot oven, but I'm not really a cake baker.

I do pre-heat the oven for roasts, but other things, like frozen pizzas, go into a cold oven, despite the instructions on the packet to pre-heat. Our oven is a fan oven and even using a lower temperature and less time, I always burn things if I put them straight into a hot oven. It heats up pretty quickly anyway.
