Bed Temp Test

Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know how long it really takes to heat up the top of a glass or ceramic bed, so I got a grill surface thermometer and timed how long it took for the temperature it reads to stabalize.

Thin glass bed

Looks like the needle isn't gonna move above 65, which is well short of 95, but I have no idea how accurate the grill thermometer is (especially at the low range it is designed for). The main point is that the needle hasn't moved for a while.

So it looks like a good rule is 15 or 16 minutes from turning on the bed heater till the top of the glass is as hot as it is going to get.
