Does it shut off after a certain time or can you cook the waffle a little longer?

You can cook the pastry as long as you like . This is a Japanese current appliance. Running it on American current can shorten it's lifespan .

Goes a little farther than your question, but if I were buying again, I would buy a model that makes more than two taiyakis. Takes a long time to cook enough to feed guests or family.

You can cook the waffle as long as you like. Takes some getting used to. Don't give up on the first few tries.

It doesn't shut off automatically. It'll cook as long as you leave the lid closed.

There is a green light and a red light. The green light turns on when the pan is ready to cook the taiyaki and turns off when the taiyaki is finished. The pan stays hot. Just the light changes from green to red.

Yes. You can set the timer for different degrees of crispness. This is the best waffle maker I have ever owned.

the cord is short.. less than two feet.Yes, it has an indicator light.... but your waffles are not ready when it says "ready." Because this thing does not get hot enough to properly cook waffles, they must cook for 15 minutes... not 5 like the light indicates. I think mine is going in the trash. I'm tired of making waffles I don't feel like eating.

The timer will automatically shut the unit off. In order for it to run however, the handle must be down. I love this unit and have baked or cooked lots of things already.

It does not shut off automatically. It screams at you and you turn it off. As someone else mentioned, it cooks so quickly there's no need to go away and have it turn off by itself. I love this little appliance!

The instructions state to heat on "each side" for 3 minutes over medium to medium-high heat and to cook for 2-3 minutes. I lifted the lid and gently pressed the waffle the first time to be sure it was set and firm. I also found that once they waffles started to lightly brown they were done.

I've never timed it exactly, but I'd guess on the setting I use it's about three minutes. Enough time to flip it, turn around and make my coffee & pour milk for the kids, and come back to a perfectly cooked waffle. :)

There is a timer for up to 2 hours and then it will shut off. If you don't use the timer you would set the cooking temperature to a low value and you check the stock as it simmers. Saying that, we have not used it for more than an hour or so at one time but I don't see why you couldn't use it for a longer time.From the manual "The timer is an optional function. You can either choose one of the preprogrammed times or you can use the Cooktop without setting a time.We have had the Cooktop for almost 2 months and so far are very pleased with it's operation.

We discovered (quite by accident) that ours shuts off after 2 hours or if a pan goes dry. In order to work, the vessel being heated up requires some sort of liquid in it. Can even be a very small amount. Note: I haven't checked this feature out, but I also believe there is a timer on it so you can cook longer than two hours.

Don't go by the beep. Use a good kitchen timer and find a good setting for the type of waffle you are baking. I set the thermostat to max and I found that a light (e.g. using whipped egg whites) takes about 3 minutes on almost any good waffler while heavy (e.g. flour with flax meal, blue corn meal) takes four and one-half minutes to fully bake.

Each works independently. Basically...1) both sides signal "ready to cook" when you warm the unit. 2) waffle one begins when you open the topmost cover, fill it, close it and spin it 180 degrees. Indicator Light on waffle one goes off.3) waffle 2 can be started any time after step 2, but before the signal light comes back on for waffle 1, about 2-3 mins.4) waffle 2, when you are ready, engages the same way as step 2. When you turn it 180 degrees, both waffle lights will be off.5) based on steps above, waffle 1 light will be in top position when it indicates that waffle 1 is ready. Remove, refill, and spin 180 degrees. Repeat until all waffles are done!Hope this helps. Each works independently.

I make waffles in mine every weekend. I plug in the maker, insert clean dry waffle plates, and set the heat dial to high. You have to wait for the lights to indicate it is heated up all the way, so I make the batter while it heats. I have a pump spray bottle (pampered chef) that I put olive oil (evoo) in and pump up the pressure. I spray this on the top and bottom plate, especially in the middle of both plates. I pour the batter in, and set the timer for 3 minutes. I don't open the maker after closing it for the entire 3 minutes. Once the timer goes off, I open and the waffle comes right out. I spray again before the next set, and always leave the heat dial on high. if the light comes back on to indicate the grill has cooled a bit, I wait to start the next one until the lights indicate it is again fully heated. This is the instructions as I rememebr them form the book that came with the grill. I have been using the same one every weekend for about 3 yrs now. I do hand wach my plates. The olive oil does create som ebuild up, adn the grill itself has gotten so hot, that the foreman name on the top has been wipped away. A hot well oiled waffle grill is the key!. Oh and the batter I use is the packets of martha white muffin mix, look to the back for a pancake recipe, and mix it that way. I use any of the flavors from berry, to banana walnut, to lemon poppy seed, and they all make good waffles, even if some are different colors of "brown" when the 3 minute timer goes off.

Hi Mainer~Depending on color 3 to 4 minutes. I check at 3 minutes, if the lid doesn't easily separate from the waffle, I give it and addition 60 seconds. I judge, when I can actually watch it during the cooking process, the steam escaping. As the steam decreases, I know the waffle is nearly done. Hope this helps. Enjoy.From Another Mainer.

while I have not own mine very long, I know it has a timer option. Also, if you take the pan off, I think it shuts it off.

when making toast on the toast setting it shuts off. for regular baking/broiling the unit does not automatically shut off. I usually set the timer and a second timing to make sure I don't leave it on by mistake.

I dissagree that the waffles take long to cook. I keep mine on the highest setting and it takes only a couple minutes. I bought the machine because it is teflon-free. The waffles come off easily (put a little oil in the batter) and taste no different than a standard machine.

The only timing function it has tells you when the waffle maker is hot enough to pour in the batter. There is no light or beep that tells you when the waffle is done. You basically just have to watch when steam stops coming out of the waffle maker to know when the waffle is done.
