Does the timer work while the unit is cooking, i.e. can I time something on the stove while the microwave cooks?

I tried it. The Kitchen Timer button will not operate while the microwave oven is cooking.

Don't know for sure, for doubtful. (Don't think these units are that sophisticated.) Suggestion - buy an inexpensive digital kitchen from Amazon or William-Sonoma, or better yet, use the Timer on a digital wrist watch, you'll never overcook anything. Good luck!

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.

Hi! Yes the timer ticks but it is only used in the toast mode to select the darkness of the toast. It is a great little toaster oven, nice and compact.

Without getting a timer out and only using the clock on stove it came to about one minute or 60 seconds. Hopefully this helps you.

I think that you could start the heater with a time clock but you could not turn it off with a time clock or timer since the power must remain on for 5 minutes after the flame is extinguished to avoid cracking the ceramic head. I have not actually tried a timer however.

no it does not work on a timer nor really control food. It does keep resistance so there is not an overload of food, but will continue to feed until it runs out. I like it but I can only get one of my dogs to open the door to eat out of it. I think they are scared of the metal noise when it closes after they take a bite or two.

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.

It has a timer you can set. Set it and forget it providing you know how long it is going to cook. I wouldn't leave it without setting the timer. It is a good burner. Just make sure you read the directions that go with it.

The microwave will wait for a while before reminding you with an additional beep ( not continuous beeping ). That works well for me, because there are times that I get busy and forget. Hope that answers your question. sunnyday

it won't work with a timer. The reason is that you switch fan modes by turning the wall switch on then off then on. The default mode when you turn it on is the humidity mode. The humidity sensor mode is great because it will run variable speeds until the humidity is below 50-60%. The fan is very quiet so I have no problem just leaving it on full for hours. it also uses very little power so quite efficient.

As noted by others it does shut itself off when the timer runs down. The problem with mine is that the "ding" stopped working awhile ago so sometimes I don't KNOW that it is finished cooking until I look at it and see that it has indeed turned itself off.

Mine does not have a timer. It has light to dark. Ever how dark you want your item to toast. Baking is as long as you need.

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.

No. This microwave has one knob that turns it on/and time set up to like 6 minutes. It has no options. Perfect for public use areas (break room, dining areas, etc)

It has a clock. The screen changes to cook time when you are using the microwave oven.

I haven't looked into the timer but your best answer might be to contact a warehouse or retailer selling this to make sure of your options, I am very satisfied with this rice cooker. Hope you find your best option.

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.
