Default Question about getting the metal up to 400 degrees...

I'm using a toaster oven for all my smaller parts and I set the temperture at about 400 degrees f. my IR Thermometer says the piece is between 150-180 degrees f. after only 5 to 10 minutes. Also put the piece in front of my Mr. Heater IR Lamp that was over 1000 degrees with the same effect. How long does it usually take a piece of aluminum that is a 1/4" thick and about 3 inches long and 1 inch wide?
