Is there a timer function that lets you set what time the rice will start cooking?

Using the timer feature, you tell the machine when you want your rice DONE. It then automatically determines when it needs to start in order to complete the rice, depending on the type of rice you told the cooker you have. The timer must be set at least 2 hours in advance.

yes. it has chime which signal you by ringing like 6 times to let you know that your meal is ready to eat. for your second inquiry about off switch, i haven't experienced that, but what i know is when the meal is ready, it automatically switch to keep warm mode and you can turn off as soon as you empty the pan.hope that will help, of course i forgot, that rice cooker is perfect and i use to cook both white and fried rice with that. i love it. for sure you will too.

Yes. Two simple ways are to:1. Press the "Add 30 Sec" button. Each press adds 30 seconds. 2. Press the "Cooking Menu" button and then select "Cook by Time". You can then rotate the knob to select the amount of time.

I believe it will cook brown rice, usually it will take around 35 minutes. This Rice cooker is the best in the market, I have been using it in my restaurant for a few years.

Yes, let say you want to cook chicken rice soup to eat around 7:00 p.m. tonight. You pre-set the time around 2:00 p.m. It need to pre-set 7 hours for cooking (2 hours for cooking rice soup and 5 hours for waiting hours- from 2:00p.m. To 7:00p.m.).

No. The timer is just for the length of cook time and then it switches to a warm setting.

No, it doesn't have a setting for a particular type of rice, HOWEVER, I've only used it once and I made black rice, which takes the longest of all. When I cook black rice on the stove it takes up to an hour and you must constantly stir or it'll stick to the pan, ugh. I love black rice, but I hate cooking it. The Black & Decker cooker must be a genius because my rice came out PERFECT!!!! All I did was set it and forget it and I was a very happy camper! I think you'll be very pleased!

The unit has an animated indicator display during the cooking and switches to a countdown timer for the final minutes. When done, it beeps and goes into keep warm mode automatically. The unit cooks based on moisture level remaining so the times vary based on the amount of liquid added and whether you punch the white rice or brown rice button.

There aren't any settings on this unit, either on or off. It automatically turns itself off when done. It has a weight sensor under the container. The top has gaps for steam release. The container loses weight as it steams off water which trips the sensor and turns it off when cooking is complete. It has a limit of 2 cups of rice. This is one appliance I will always have, makes rice cooking so simple.

Normal cooking time for regular white rice is about 52 minutes to 1 hour depends on a setting you choose. There is a quick cooking mode that cooks rice 32-45 minutes, but I have not used the quick cooking mode. Manual can download at http://www.zojirushi.com/products/npnvc for more instructions.

The only time function I am aware of is the cook / time function. You set your temp first then hit the function button until both the temp and time red led's are on. Then scroll with the arrow keys to your selected cook time. The unit will run at the selected temp for the length of time set and automatically turn off. Hope this helps.

Nope. It's a triple timer. You set times for the chicken, the potatoes, and the asparagus. There is one clock, but not sure I've ever switched to that screen.

No, it does not have a timer. Since the humidity in your home and the moisture content of the food can vary considerably, you must check the dryness manually.

I just sent it on 30 min (timed cook). I will try it with the white rice setting.

There is no particular setting for cooking rice. You can use the high or low setting and experiment with timing/water amounts. In my experience, it is okay but not great for rice.

The Rice Cooker is made to cook no matter what kind of rice you use. It doesn't have a setting for a specific rice. You just have to read the instructions on how much water you use on the packaging label of the rice itself because some use more water than the other brand of rice.

There's no auto-timer, so you can't set it for a certain number of cook time hours; you have to be physically present to turn it between settings.
