Does the first ones poured in cook darker than last ones? and is there a timer or beeper when done?

No timer or beeper. It cooks perfectly the light goes out when it is ready to open.

Yes, they have a 5 hour timer which works great! I"ve set them for around 2030 and they go off automatically after five hours. After the initial setting they illuminate and extinguish all by themselves at the same time every day. Hope this helps!

Hey Mavis, Sorry, but I've never 'timed' it. I just fill the kettle, set my surface burner to a low level, and do something else while I wait for the whistle. Royfill

When we did ours, you have to wait until the timer goes off before the lid will open. Hope this helps.

Pressing start cooks for 30 sec. There is also one button cooking by pressing 1-6 for ea respective nmbr of minutes

No you don't cook them first, just put them on the rack. You might want to put wet paper towel on them to wet them so they can stay on the rack better.

Yes, they do make a mild beeping noise when you press-to-set. Only audible within the room that you are using it IMO. Personally, it's the best timer that I have ever used.

I went to Walgreens and got a cheap $10 coil burner so I didn't have to light these on my stove. I throw them on till one side is glowing red flip it then wait for it all to glow. Usually takes like 10 minutes to light three.

From both of those failed attempts sound like you are cooking them too long. Adjust your cooking time down by half and then add 30 sec to a min until they come out the way you like them. Also, you need to remember they will continue cooking for a min or two after you remove them from the microwave. You are adding some water, aren't you?

I've never double checked the timer but find the settings work fine. I use 16-17 mins for 7 large hard boiled eggs and they were perfect. I'd go with the timer setting and not worry about whether or not it times out perfectly. It's all about the final results...firm, golden yellow eggs and no green.

If you put it on high (like 5 or 6) they'll be hot and browning in about 15 minutes...then you'll want to put it on low (like maybe 2) to keep them hot. Just got done with an event an hour ago, and it worked great!

Yes. You can program a preheat time (from off, or 1 to 30 minutes); the knead time (off, or one to 30 minutes); Rise #1 (from 1 min up to 24 hours), then there will be a brief 'punch down', another Rise #2 (off, or 1 to 2 hours), another punch down and a Rise #3 (again, either off or one to 2 hours), then "bake" (off, or one to 70 minutes). The Keep Warm setting will come on after that. There are three different individual programmable programs you can create and save.

I've slowly been replacing my darker baking pans with the lighter ones. They do really cook more evenly. The bottoms don't end up so brown. I've only made cupcakes and cornbread so far but both have come out beautiful.

Wow, I'm far from a cooking expert. Only thing I'll suggest is if you're not already using a cooking spray (i.e. PAM,Crisco or Smart Balance) try that with just a 10 second reduction on time you're MWaving them.

We cook them for a few minutes longer than the box says, then check them every 2-3 minutes. Once they start to look kinda done, start poking one with a tooth pick each time you check them. When the tooth pick comes out clean, they're done!

yes, they do work. watch them during the last several baking minutes. each oven is different.

I am a novice (been doing this 3 days), but I purposely chose a model with a timer to shut off. It has already been most valuable. I was dehydrating a pasta sauce, and saw recommendations to check it after about 10 hrs and turn it over when it is solid enough. At 10 hrs it was not ready, but was a couple hrs later, when I was ready to go to bed. So I turned it over, set the timer for a few hours, went to bed and my dehydrated sauce was ready to package this morning.
