how do they heat up?

gradually, I use them as glove liners and they keep my hands nice and warm.

Quite well. They warm up very quickly and create heat all over my hands. The best part is that there are no wires throughout the glove liners. They are thin liners. You may have to order a larger pair of gloves to accommodate the additional layer though. You could try them with your current gloves and see how they fit before having to order new larger gloves. I am able to use my current gloves, although they are a bit tight but workable. Wish I have purchased these years ago.

Just pinch the penny like object inside it to begin the chemical reaction. They get warm in 5 seconds

They don't take too long to heat up, I plug them in before my shower and by the time I'm out they're very hot. I would say about 3-5 minutes.

You cook them like you normally would. Be sure you have the grease cup on the side. Start at 425 and lower to around 200 and they will cook . You might want to put a little PAM on it first

On the upper right of the machine is a section they call a warmer. Put your cup they're and it will warm up. .. But it takes time. Temperature settings are done at set up. There's a nice cd that they ship with it that explains alot.

Steam vents through the lid. You can put the package of buns on the lid and it will warm them

They are like the small burners on a electric stove. They are more than adequate to cook on. I really like my unit.

They do not stay warm long. Actually they really never get "hot", you get about 15 minutes of warm as long as you are constantly kneading them. After about 30 minutes there's almost no heat at all. Activation is another 30 minutes of boiling water and waiting for them to be "completely" fluid again.

They are soft so they get re-shaped a bit. I had a few bars stacked up and the did ok. They just get soft in heat.

Some kind of little beads. They stay warm for quite a while but are not meant to walk around in.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

It's still a mystery to me! I think they come out like a tripod by compressing the top, but they're not well designed. They also get really hot

Before I use them each time, I just close the lid, crank the heat up and let them get good and hot. Then I hit them with the wire grill brush.

They are folded up, so you have to carefully unfold them, and then attach a block of 'wax' (the stuff that burns). Not difficult, just a little tedious, each one takes maybe 2-3 minutes to prepare. We did it in advance so they were ready to be lit together.

plenty hot. In fact, it is a bit difficult to hold them while trying to get the pin to hold.

They get warm but not hot. I would think the worse that might happen is the plastic might yellow after years of being warm.

I have been putting them in a bowl of cold water or running cold water on them if they are still a little bit warm from the last night and I want to get them reheated. It seems to be working so far.
