Does this cooker have a countdown timer display to let you know when the cooking cycle will end and the food will be ready?

It will display the last 10 minutes once the fuzzy logic determines it is 10 minutes away from done. Otherwise, no.

It has one for white & brown rice settings but only for the last approximately 10 minutes.

As the previous reply said, for rice it gives a countdown once it's about 10 mins from the finish. But it's very consistent in regard to the time, so once you use it you'll know how long the rice will take. If you're talking about other food, like for steaming vegetables, then the answer is yes, since you tell it how many minutes you want it to cook. Excellent machine.

Yes, it does cycle off and on ... I just used it for the first time with a pressure cooker. I had to keep my eye on it, as the temp. didn't stay even. I do like it though.

Yes. There is a stop watch function to count up. There is NO timer for a count down.

No it doesn't. And by the way, my timer has already gone out. If you haven't bought it yet. DON'T

No, I do not believe it has a countdown timer, but please read the product specs to be 100% sure. Now that it's winter at my location, my stopwatch is in storage with other sports equipment.

Kind of. Has 2 settings white and brown. Does have delay timer, too. Great cooker for the money.

The time is a 'countdown' only. you would need to start it before you leave and set it for the number of hours you want it to cook. It will shut off when the timer is done. I did leave mine cooking a pot roast all day while I was out. No problems. Hope this helps.

It does not shut off at the end of the cooking period. There is a timer that you set that makes an alarm, but it is not extremely loud.

Yes. There is a light to let you know it's ready. There is also an orange light to let you know that the cooking is still in progress.

No it does not, I returned the first one it did not work. The one I have now if I set it for 2 hours when done moves to 4 hours and so on. Cooks quicker than most of my recipes, not a bad thing. Easy to clean.

No, there is no timer on mine. (Sorry for the slow response! I've been away.) -

No it doesn't, only in Fahrenheit. However, it tells you when your food is cooked rare, medium rare, done, and well done.

No. It has timer for only 15 or 30 minutes. I would always reset the timer for another 30 minutes and that was very helpful.

No, you just have to check on your food. You can always set another timer in your kitchen, like the one on many stoves.

I have not discovered a countdown timer, which is not to say there is not one with certainty. There is much to discover through use, not all that well documented in the manual or online.

I don't think I fully understand the question. There's a time of day clock and a stopwatch. No countdown timer. Still a nice piece. Use mine daily. Wish it had an alarm. I use my cell phone for that.

NO. But what I did, is used the delay function timed to come on later. If I didn't make it home when the food was done, the MaxiMatic switches to Keep Warm.
