At one time, it was standard procedure for the chef to turn on the ovens and ranges first thing in the morning and keep them on all day. Today, high energy costs have made this practice expensive. Fortunately, modern equipment takes less time to heat.
Know the preheating time for all your cooking equipment so you don’t need to turn it on before necessary. Plan production so equipment that requires a lot of energy is not on for long periods when not in use.
