I received this as a gift for Christmas. I was absolutely excited after plugging it in and realizing how long it takes to come up the temperature, I’m not impressed. We use this to replace a smaller countertop electric griddle, which came to temperature in two minutes. This unit takes 15 minutes to get to temperature. I’m not impressed, the surface is amazing. Nothing sticks to include over cooked cheese. That’s impressive. 

Is there a way to speed up the healing process? That’s not addressed in the owners manual.
