Can you control your cook time? Can you set your own time as you would be able to do with a number pad, or is it all automatic?

Judy, Most of my cooking/heating is done with two controls. By pushing the "Add 30 Sec" button the microwave starts immediately and with each additional push keeps adding 30 more sec. Another fine tuning way is to start it w/ the "Add ---" button & then turn the knob. In this mode the time is adjusted in 5 sec increments. The other controls? I seldom use.

We have not installed the cooktop yet. We are remodeling the kitchen now. JB

Yes, you control the time with the dial. There is also a 30 second button that you may push as many times as you want.

Previous answers correct but just note that when setting the time it moves in increments of 15 seconds. You can't set specific times beyond that.

Judy, I would love to be able to answer this for you but I purchased this microwave on the information my contractor gave to me.. ..he approved it and I bought it but then found out my contractor did not measure correctly for the space it was to go in.. I am now unable to use it once my cabinets were put in.. I am more than angry and I cannot at this time return it even though it is unopened in the box I received because it is over the 30 day limit the company has.. I had even purchased the extended guarantee. I feel shafted by the seller and the contractor !

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.

In consultation with my wife, the true expert in things cooking, she said: The manual settings High and Simmer do not auto shift. It must be done by you. However when the set time for cooking has elapsed the unit will switch to Warm and stay there. This not a cooking setting, but more of a maintenance level.

The settings look to only allow you to alter the time manually, not the temperature, so this probably wouldn't be the best purchase for what you are aiming for.

I haven't tried but based on your ability to set the temperature as low as 150 I can't see why touch couldn't if you're looking to cook whatever it is during the same process. set shorter time at lower temp, no steam and check it after 5 minutes etc. Then reset for normal cooking

You can use your own timer, the one that comes from the company isn't necessary. I replaced my timer with a much more compact model that can be hidden from view better. :D

I own this.After the set cooking time, this unit immediately turns itself to Warm for 8 hours!!!!!! just keeping itself....well, warm for that long after which it turns itself off completely. Of course, one can manually turn it off after less "warm" time if one desires. I LOVE this machine....you can cook anything in it. The best piece of kitchen equipment I have bought in years.It's fabulous

The cooker has a digital timer and you can set it for so many hours to suit yourself,, 1, 2, hours etc and then it goes to warm.It is not like the old crock pots where if you turn it on you don't have a choice of time.. When you pressure cook the timer is set in minutes. I love mine,,,use it all the time...pressure cooking and crock pot ,,,Great investment for the Real Cook.. Even bought one for my daughter for Christmas and she uses hers all the time also.

This product doesn't have a timer on it. You control the length of cooking time.

Yes you can cook with it set to " Stay On" with out using the timer. To turn off just turn knob back to " 0" on timer setting.

Sorry - I don't know - I rarely use the self timer. I would think that you could - but I'm not sure.

The preset times are set as is. However you can manually set times according to your needs by using the PRESSURE COOK TIME button. This is a very user friendly pressure cooker, you are literally pressing buttons, locking the lid and walking away. Fabulous.

No. You can set up with your preferred temperature and time setting (up to 166º F and 60 minutes). You can lock in this setting to start again with a single button press. Settings are erased if unplugged. Great, high quality heating pad.

Yes you can. You simply input all your settings for your cook, ie:cook temps, food done temps, hold, timers etc via the controller versus a handheld device

Either way. Change the "lever" on the left side to Timer and then hold down the button until you get close to the time you need, let up and press it one number at a time. If you go over what you want you have to start over. That's the only drawback. Otherwise I find this my favorite timer and carry it with me so I never miss what I'm timing and don't have to hover over what I'm cooking. Love it and hope you do or will too.

I haven't personally tried it, but we were talking about that very thing this weekend. I don't know why not if you leave the cooker on manual and time it through the timer.

Hi. I have never overshot the cooking time. There is also a "1 minute" button that I use more often. So if I need 4 minutes, I just press that button 4 times. I almost never use the knob actually.
