The unit appears to have a timer function. Are there pre-set intervals (ie 30 minutes, 60 minutes) or can you set cook time to the minute?

The different modes do have some presets but I have been able to set to the minute whenever I've wanted to so far.

Sorry, we do NOT use the timer. We simply put on cook and it auto cook until done.

The Rice and Slow cook are presets. The Steam and Oatmeal are to the minute.

From the manual: "The rice cooker will automatically determine the exact cooking time depending on the quantity of water and rice placed in the bowl". When Slow Cooking, Steam Cooking or Cooking Oatmeal, I suggest you have the manual handy because each procedure is different, not intuitive and potentially "meal-ruining" if you don't follow the exact instructions. At least, that's how it seems to me. I only use mine for cooking white rice in the default two person serving size and it works great. Hope this helps.

It doesn't have a timer. If you are going to set it to cook and then leave, then you should've put it at the lowest setting and if your meal is not done when you return, then you can raise it to a higher setting until it is done.

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.

I apologize, I'm not sure I understand your question. The timer can be Set to run up to 60 minutes. If you want it to run continuously, I'm sure there is a way to disable the timer function.

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

Yes, the timer and temp control are separate dials, so you can set it to any temp and any length of time up to 60 minutes.

There is a dial on the side of the unit that allows you to set the timer in either seconds, minutes or hours. Very simple interface

Sorry Kim, but you can't set this cooker to turn on later in the day. For the meals that I cook in this unit that's never been a problem--for example, a pot roast that requires a 6-hour cooking time on the low setting will still be perfect after 8 or 10 hours because there's simply no evaporation to allow the food to dry out. If you're making a casserole that only needs to "bake" for a couple hours, and you want to serve after an 8-hour workday, you'll need to use the timed feature on your regular oven. I'm not aware of any slow cookers that have a delayed start feature for that very reason; they simply don't allow food to dry out. So as long as you cook your food for the minimum required time, extending the length of cooking time for hours, even, is never a problem. This slow cooker will automatically switch to the warm setting after the cook time that you programmed has elapsed, or the probe registers that the food is cooked. I've used quite a few different slow cookers, and this one (and its' smaller cousin) are by far my favorites. If you spent 10 times the amount of money, this would still be the best slow cooker of all, in my opinion.

I don't see why you couldn't set it for 12 hours on low and then reset again and again. I have never cooked beyond 12 hours though. This is a great cooker for everything I have tried to cook which is mostly stews, chili, corned beef and chicken.

Press the On/Off button to turn it on. Then press the "Cook Time" button, and hold it down until it shows the time you want (It goes up in one-hour increments). If you cook for just a few hours (under 6, I think), it cooks on high. If you cook longer, it cooks on low.

You can manually set the timer for other recipes. I personally have only made beans and rice using the manual settings. But I see no reason why it would not work for other items.

There are two buttons for cooking time. The one on the far right is for 30 seconds. The one just to the right of the clock is for 5 second intervals. After you tap the 5 second interval button you need to tap the 30 second button to add it to the time the microwave will cook. To do just 15 seconds you would tap the 5 second button 3 times and then tap the 30 second button. If you want to do 45 seconds you tap the 30 second button and then the 5 second button and then the 30 second button again. It took us a while to figure that out.

Heat settings are adjustable up to 75 degrees celcius. Timer is for 60 minutes or less.

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.

Yes. it worked fine with timer. You can preset the cooking end time that means program will start much earlier than end (ready) time.
