How long does this take to 1) heat up to cooking temperature, and 2) cook a normal sandwich?

It's pretty quick and only takes about 5 minutes to heat up. My sandwiches are usually pretty thick so I'd estimate about 8-10 minutes for one of my sandwiches.

It takes approximately two minutes to heat up to cooking temp, and between 5 to 7 minutes to cook a normal sandwich. But what I like the best is that since it is a flat surface above and below, you can get a perfect sandwich from many different types of bread. Also if you wanted to use for a quick grill such as fry an egg or so, it can also be done. Hope it helps.

I use it every day! Nice, easy and quick. Works best with Italian, French or and grinder bread. Not so much with sliced bread. I love this sandwich maker!!!

Not long at all for either. Plug it in and by the time you assembled te sandwich it is hot and ready. Maybe 3-5 minutes for warm up and maybe 5min for cooking.

Once you plug it in, there is no actual waiting time it will be ready to cook when bring your stuffs and prepare them (bread, cheese, butter, ham etc....) it's very hot so I unplug it soon after I close down and let it stay a minute that's all.

1) Maybe a minute or two. 2) A minute or two. It heats up fast and cooks fast (sometimes we think it is too hot and we unplug it once the green light goes on and it still heats up my sandwiches). I always put butter on the top and bottom of my sandwiches to brown them. I am careful that I keep cheese more towards the middle than the edges. It does smush the bread though as the top is heavy.

Just two, three minutes. I like mine well done so I cook them for a cycle and a half. Its really quite fast and a lot of fun! Everything pops up....like a toaster!

I never tried that, but I Googled it. One lady said she put two big cans in on high, and it was ready when she checked it two hours later (She didn't check it any sooner). Somebody else said to heat it on low to avoid scorching and that it would be ready in about 45 minutes. I'd heat it on low since dairy doesn't always do well on high heat.

Covered on high for 3 min. Stir and cook on high for an additional 3 min. From me: have a deep bowl. Mine overflowed in the microwave.

I would say approximately 20 to 25 minutes depending on how many cups you are cooking. I usually cook 2 cups.

The instructions state to heat on "each side" for 3 minutes over medium to medium-high heat and to cook for 2-3 minutes. I lifted the lid and gently pressed the waffle the first time to be sure it was set and firm. I also found that once they waffles started to lightly brown they were done.

It needs 5 mins to heat. But maybe 7-8 mins I can make three full bags that come with it from start to end in about 15mins.

You can set the cooking time in 30 minute increments up to 10 hrs. When the time is up, it will go to warming temp. and will stay in warming mode for up to (I believe) 8 hours. That keeps the food at a safe temp. You just want to make sure the food doesn't overcook.

I haven't timed it but it's pretty quick, maybe a 2-3 minutes. It heats up pretty quick, too, maybe 4-5 minutes.

OFF IS THE LOWEST TEMPERATURE SETTING...Actually it says low med hi I typically cook everything on medium for 5 minutes...You just have to play around with different food and different settings I started out at low and when I saw not much happened to the hamburgers after 5 minutes I moved it up to medium...

I heat mine up very high so I give it at least an hour. Best electric grill I have tried.

I have never timed it, as I usually unplug the unit and carry the whole thing to the cafeteria and eat it right away. I am a teacher and use this at school. I plug it in when I arrive in the morning. We have lunch about 4 hours later and my food is hot by then. You won't want to remove the metal insert right away; it will be pretty hot.

Hello there.Two bread pieces sliced in halves moderately filled would be probably 5-6 sandwiches. Need to warm it half an hour before eating will be just right.

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

The bake, convection, broil, and warm settings can be set for up to 2 hours. The toast and probe settings cannot be timed.

It is very simplistic, not having a temp control. You plug it in. The longer it is plugged in, the hotter it gets - up to a limit naturally. We just guess - been plugged in for 5 minutes, I suppose it is warm enough to begin frying. Would not attempt anything requiring exact temperature and timing. Good for more simple fare like hamburgers, grilled cheese, etc.

About 90 seconds. I have never used over a "3" setting before it starts to burn the edges of anything you put in it. I have also found, that if you toast 2- 2 slice items back to back, it toasts darker on the second set of two slices....not good in my opinion. I use it every day, and this problem happens every time.
