How long does this take to pre-heat?

It heats up in about 3-4 minutes... then it breaks after 3 months, and won't heat up at all. Save your money or buy a better quality product.

About 10 minutes. I turn it on low before I go into brush my teeth and get ready for bed -- wash face, take off makeup, etc. and by the time I come to bed, the chill is gone. I don't like a toasty bed but I imagine if you cranked it up it would actually be warm in that amount of time v

Quickly! To preheat to 4 or 5 setting (our usual), it takes maybe 5 minutes. Don't know how we ever survived winter nights before buying this thing. Love it!

It depends on the function you want. This is from the manual: "For example, the preheat phase for the bake function to reach 325°F with the convection fan on takes approximately 3 minutes. The preheat phase is indicated by the flashing up arrow to the right of the temperature display on the LCD."

Not real long. About 45 min. Maybe if you wrap plate in foil it would stay warm longer.

Haven't gotten it out to use this year, but I think it was no more than 2 min. Follow the directions that came with! I'm not really crazy about it; it didn't hold the heat very long and didn't really cover where I needed it most (neck).

If you heat it for about 6 minutes, it gets pretty darn hot. It will stay warm for about half an hour.

No more than 1 1/2 to 2 minutes minutes! It gets pretty hot! But depending on what your tolerance is...more or less

My wife says it takes less than 1 minute to reach temperature. Hope that helps.

Seems like 2~3 min. I usually turn on first and then go prepare batter and by the time I have finished preparing batter, the iron is ready or near ready.

It depends on the heat setting you choose. About an hour on high heat, 4 hours on low heat.

Try taking half as long to preheat as you did before... so if you preheated for 30 minutes then try 10-15. You can always climb up to temp but if its too hot at the start then your food will burn too fast. Also, try placing on indirect heat (the cooler side of your grill). Steel will still soak up and retain the heat but at a slower rate for more control. Good luck! Enjoy!

It takes 15-20 seconds to start heating and about one to one and a half minutes to get to full temp, depending upon the heat setting you have selected.

Instructions say 30 sec at a time until warm enough. It does not hold the heat very long at all. Not worth it.

No...it takes approximately 20-30 minutes for the heating elements to cool down. I would NOT leave anything on the burners if you don't want them to keep cooking.

About an hour and 15 min. But it's totally worth it. It's moist but not mushy. And it holds up to reheating extremely well.

It depends on the setting you have it on. The two times I tried to use it, it took around 2 minutes to heat up to medium high.

I would give it an hour to reach temps that warm. There is a timer on it and you can set it ahead of time. I really like this little heater.
