Try soaking them overnight in the fridge. It takes zero effort from your day, and they're ready when you get home.

But three hours? Really? I've waited twice that for a main hall panel.

My buddy got one just for hot wings, but then his power bill went down a whole month before summer even hit. He figured out it was because they'd stopped using their big oven for almost everything, like roasting veggies or even baking potatoes.
