Does this rice cooker have a digital timer built in to keep track of cooking time? Thank you

It has 2 buttons cook & warm. Just push cook, a beep will sound when the cooking is finished & the cooker switches to warm. The directions recommend waiting 10 minutes before opening cooker.I make brown rice in it, I soak the rice for a few hours then wash it in a special bowl for washing rice that I found online when I ordered this rice cooker. The instruction book that comes with the rice cooker is very informative.

No, it does not, a simple automatic switch. A great rice cooker! Had it for a time. . does it right!

no, it doesn't; that said, if you get it going early, it does an excellent job of keeping the contents nice and hot, ready to serve later.

Hi, This cooker uses a thermal read switch to monitor cooking time. This sensor is not a digital timer, but a physical one that uses temperature to determine when cooking is completed.

There's no timer at all. It doesn't have a programming function and also doesn't show how long it has been cooking or has left to cook. I've also found that it cooks much slower than my other rice cookers. Now that I know to adjust by adding an extra 30-40 minutes of cook time (for brown rice), I like the cooker quite a bit.

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.

This cooker has a timer feature that lets you program the time of day/night you want your rice to be ready. So if you think you're having dinner @ 7:30, you set it all up and @ 7:30 the rice is done. As soon as it's done, it's a good idea to fluff it and then just close it again. It will keep warm and fluffy until you're ready to eat it. I am about ready to try making rice porridge - congi sp? - and I'm going to set it up and time it to be ready in the morning.

I purchased this cooker to steam rice, not merely to boil rice. I wanted steamed rice as served in Asian restaurants. It usually takes 20-30 minutes to steam rice, unless you prefer to use less water. All this is described in the enclosed instructions. I like the features of this cooker. It will turn itself off when the rice is done and turn on an indicator light. Easy to clean, too. It will make some noise similar to a lid on a pot of boiling water. Hope this helps.

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.

The time of day shows on the clock except when you are cooking something, and then it shows the cooking time countdown. It has a timer only option also, but that doesn't display (which is frustrating) it just rings when the timer is done.Hope that helps.

This one has no timer. There are plenty of programmable models, but this is the only one I know of with 100% stainless steel as cooking surface.

No timer, you have to set a timer. Just made a batch of pumpkin ice cream this AM. Awesome.

No, just how long typical foods take to cook. It's a wonderful pressure cooker; I use it at least once a week. :-)

Yes it has a timer. It can be set for 30 minute increments. For example; start cooking two hours from now.

You don't set the time. The time is dependent upon how much rice and liquid you put in. Too make rice all you do is put in the rice (brown or white) and add the amount of liquid (water or broth) then press the on button then hit either the brown rice button or the white rice button. It's extremely simple. It does come with a basket to add vegetables that sits above the rice. How ever I have yet to do this as I usually make rice for a week in advance, but I imagine that is equally as simple

Hi Teri, sorry to say I've never used that feature. Dare I say, I've had the cooker so long I'd forgotten about that feature! Sorry I wasn't more help.

Yes. It has a 2 second and a 10 second timer. Controlled by touch screen menu.

No. It would have to be digital. The only settings are on the dial as pictured on the front of the slow cooker.

No, it does not, but it turns to warming mode automatically once the rice is cooked. I love my Oyama rice cooker!
