When pushing the on button for cooking time, is it in 5 second of 30 second increments?

The "ON" button is 30 seconds, and the + sign button adds in 5 seconds increments.

Each time you touch (no pushing required) the on pad it is 30 seconds. One minute requires 2 taps.2 minutes requires 4 taps. If you only need 15 seconds (as I do for dog dinner)tap once for 30 seconds then watch countdown timer. You can then cancel or justopen the door. Hope that helps. I LOVE mine!open the door.

5 second intervals until you hit 1 minute, 15 second intervals until you hit 3 minutes, 30 second intervals thereafter. This system works quite well for setting short periods of time or long ones, since if you hold the button down it goes pretty fast.

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.

Yes, the start button is actually an "add 30 seconds" button that will turn it on for 30 seconds initially and add 30 every time after.

Press TIMER button first, then press 230, it would show the # of 2:30. Finally, press START

Yes it is instant and it is backlit. If you need to know when the item you'r cooking is perfect for your taste, then you need this therometer.

Immediately. It will be displaying the ambient temperature and will start to escalate up to the temperature of whatever you are cooking as soon as you insert it into the product you are measuring. It takes a very short time to reach the actual temperature of the product.

I don't know about the 30 second time....but when I use mine for a 30 minute time it will set itself for another 30 minutes'

As the other customers stated it may be set for any 30 min intervals I.e. 5 h and 30 m, or 6h, or 6h and 30 m, etc. I really like this cooker.

I actually like turn dial more than a keyboard... One thing I'd like if it was a bit more sophisticated and could select with a push of a knob. But what is there works. You can do increments under 30 seconds by 5 seconds, I believe. As you go into multiple minutes, increments stick to 30 seconds though.

Yes, the Start button will automatically cook for 30 sec. after you hit it.

There is a 5 inute preheat built in. Set temp. Set timer for time required including preheat time. Enter food after 5 min.

You can set the cooking time in 30 minute increments up to 10 hrs. When the time is up, it will go to warming temp. and will stay in warming mode for up to (I believe) 8 hours. That keeps the food at a safe temp. You just want to make sure the food doesn't overcook.

Yes and no, if that makes sense. If you are talking about from zero, no it doesn't count up from zero. HOWEVER, let's say you plan to cook something on the stovetop for 15 minutes. You set timer #4 for 15 minutes. After the 15 minute timer goes off, the light turns from green to red to show you that timer 4 has gone off. From the second timer 4 goes off, that timer will start counting up until you stop the timer or reset it. So if you want to go 3 minutes over. You can look at the timer and see. And all of the timers have this capability, not just timer 4. It is a very well thought out timer in many respects. The black dial just needs to be easier to turn. Yes and no, if that makes sense.

According to the Product Description: "Fingertip touch controls include Low, High, and Warm cook settings, as well as Time Up or Time Down options for setting the cooking time from 30 minutes up to 20 hours." The unit will also go into a Warm setting for up to 6 hours after the time has ran out. So that is just barely into your minimum desired 24 hours. You might wish to do more research on the information you have that recommends 24-72 hours. Perhaps they can recommend a unit that can accomplish this. You could also look into pressure cooking, which uses pressure and heat to achieve some of the same results as slow cooking but in less time - up to a third of the time is the claim.

You are talking about baking, I presume. You use the minus sign under "Time" and press it until it is at the time you want. It is a drag, but it works.

On the unit I bought no there is only 4 seconds after the button is pressed (default) and 1 second after the button is pressed.

Hi Steven, The two hour option starts cooking right away. There is no ability to delay the start of the cooking process. Best bet is too allow for a long cooking process at low temp and then let the unit keep it "warm" until you are ready to eat. Otherwise it is a great unit....it's analog, not digital....if you know what I mean. :)
