Does the clock on this rice cooker go by regular time or military? Would I be better off sticking to my HBC10 or grabbing this?

The clock displays regular time, although I think you can program it to display military time.

This is an excellent rice cooker. We love it. Using it greatly more than I though. Yes it goes into the double digits as far as time is concerned.

That is correct. Be sure to keep the rice cup that comes with the cooker. I just measured it out and it equals 3/4 c. dry measure, roughly. I tell you this in case you lose the plastic cup and notice that using a 1 c. dry measure gets you really dry rice using the hashmarks on the inside container for water.

I am sorry to say that it will only show military time. I've owned mine for several months now and will only display 24 hour time format and nowhere in the user manual does it state otherwise. Anything over 12 hours on your display...just subtract 12.

There are settings for the different types of rice. You push for white brown etc These are pre sets which are pretty right on. I have discovered that for wild rice only it takes longer so it is best to manually set. You have both options just as you can manually set for beans soups or stews once it reaches the pre set time it automatically switches to warm function until you open it. It has an alarm to let you know it is switching.

Cookign time. I don't believe there's a programmable keep warm time. When cooking rice, if you don't manually stop it when it beeps, the timer will start to increment, it's hard to tell if it is 10 min overcook is 10 min unercook if you were not there when the timer was 0.

Watch out for boiling over into main pot ( the cooker has a smaller insert in the main pot). I would not want to deal with cleaning burnt oatmeal out of the main unit. I would experiment the first time around. Rice is quite different from oatmeal and can be left alone in the pot until done-- oatmeal will cook faster.

The time of day shows on the clock except when you are cooking something, and then it shows the cooking time countdown. It has a timer only option also, but that doesn't display (which is frustrating) it just rings when the timer is done.Hope that helps.

there is a way to switch time display from 12 hours to military, please contact seller for the manual of time setting. Thanks

Dean, I just checked the time clock and it does military time but it is only capable of doing time stamps in base 60, not base 100. In other words, 5:30pm on this closk would read 17:30 not 17.50. Hope that helps.

Mine came with a general guide of cook times. This is just a guide since your cook times vary depending on microwave wattage. Cook times also depend on desired doneness...you'll probably have to experiment with this. I love mine and would definitely recommend.

Jwv''s answer is correct. Cook time is described accrately in the response. I do not know of any time setting for start of cooking.It is a dandy little cooker. Wouldn't change it if I could.

It depends on the rice. White is the shortest maybe 20 + min. Brown rice will take longer. How this inexpensive little rice cooker knows. is a mystery.

You are welcome. They should refund your money because it seems like the rice cooker may be defective. Or they should send you another one. Good luck.

No. The highest number, no matter what you are using it for, is 9 hours and 99.99 seconds. I actually have two of these so I have the ability to time two things at the same time. It is the best timer/clock/counter I have ever owned and I have owned many as I am an avid cook. I also use it for timing other chores such as watering the lawn, laundry, etc. My memory isn't what it used to be! With magnetic back it hangs easily on my refrigerator and also is small enough that I can carry it in my pocket.

As far as I know, there is no way to set the time. You just have to turn it down or off as needed. However this is a great slow cooker and I recommend it highly.

Probably not a useful answer ... but maybe check with an authorized Krups repair location: http://www.krupsusa.com/repairs. But it's liable to cost almost as much as a new one and won't have a good warranty. Or maybe see about replacing the electronics yourself, if you're handy: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/krups-rk7009507d-rice-cooker-rice-cooker-parts-c-144838_145181_145206.html. Seems that "electronic board" is only $17 though there is risk that will not fix it...

We cook our brown rice this way: 1 cup of water in the hopper, two cups of rice in three cups of water in the bowl. At the end of the cycle it's still just a bit too wet, but we pop a lump of butter in at that point, and leave it in the warming mode for 10-20 minutes while cooking the rest of dinner. When it's time to eat, it's perfect.Before this cooker, we had one of the fancy fuzzy-logic computerized cookers. I think this one does a better job, really.
