and it holds the heat like crazy. Really, really good. Like it actually weirds us out where we think that the oven's on. Like literally an hour, 2 hours later, guys, and I'm thinking that the oven is still on.

Cites heating speed, heat retention

Now, for heating, this one did heat up faster. I was putting my hand over them um while we were getting them situated and this one did heat up faster.

But wow, this one cooks way faster. Like I'm actually blown away. You can see is at four. I feel like this one is at six. And look how much slower it is cooking.

These ones were done way faster. Like they're I put them to the side. This one I had to have cook at six. This one I had cook at four.

It was like 244 last time I checked. That's what it says. We're at 260.

it gives you an idea of this one holds temperature longer, and I think it even claims that on their website that it holds for a very long time.
