Question 5

#5 Does this have a delay on the timer and does it have a count-down?

Answer

There is no delay on the timer. It senses when the water is boiled off (cooking rice or steaming veggies). Then for rice the instructions say to wait about 15 minutes once it clicks from cooking to warming before stirring and serving rice. For veggies once it clicks to warm they are usually done.

Question 7
