Does this cooker let you know when the eggs are done?

There is no alarm or anything like that, but it does shut off. If you are near, you can hear it click off. Hope this helps

no, but it does exactly as it was advertised. my eggs always come out perfect. if i want it soft, then i measure the water to the "soft" line in the provided cup. if i want it hard, i measure to the highest level in the cup. this cooker never fail

I don't find that it takes any longer. If concerned, when the timer goes off leave them in the cooker for an extra 30 seconds. The eggs continue to cook until they cool or are cooled With soft boiled eggs I open the shell right away. With hard boiled eggs I put them in an ice bath to cool them right away, doing that makes them easier to peel away the shell.

Once in a great while, an egg will crack a little while poking the hole. Also, once in a while the eggs will crack while cooking. Either way, the eggs are still cooked just fine. We just eat those right away when it happens. We love this egg cooker!

No, the light on top is only on when it's heating up (and goes off when it's ready to use) or when it's coming back on to maintain its temperature. There is no indication of when the omelet is done except the suggestions for timing in the booklet and some trial-and-error. My husband likes to make sure the eggs are fully cooked, so I load up the omelet (three eggs, about 1.5 eggs per side, plus the fixings) and set the microwave timer for a little more than 11 minutes, and it's done. Works every time consistently once you figure out the timing that's best for you.

Cooker does turn off automatically. There is some residual heat so eggs will continue to cook a few more minutes. No bell or audible alarm to let you know it's done. But this is a good cooker and works just as well for 14 eggs as for 3. Doesn't leak like some egg cookers do. Printed instructions could be more helpful. Sometimes they don't make much sense.

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.

Actually the number of and size of the egg(s), and the degree to which it is to be poached is a matter of experimentation (the amount of water one adds to the unit before turning it on.) There are lines of demarcation on the included plastic cup and within an egg or two you will have no trouble ascertaining the proper amount. Also a very soft alarm goes off once the water has boiled off. The alarm does not shut off of its own accord, nor does the heating element. I would not advise leaving the unit unattended as the time required is relatively short.

We usually get the eggs out of the fridge when we first get up and they sit in the cooker while we shower and get ready for work. Then we start the cooker while fixing toast, fruit, coffee, etc. and by the time we've finished that, the eggs are done.

It does not, you'll have to do it by hand. I do recommend purchasing a turner if u don't have the time to turn the eggs 2 to 3 times a day.

When you put it in the pan of water with your eggs, it will slowly turn black on the timer to the desired :)

Yes it does! I LOVE this Pressure cooker. I can set it and go about my evening, when im ready for dinner, its still hot and ready to eat.

No, unfortunately. I wish it did. Nor can you program it to turn off. When the programmed cooking time is over, it automatically switches to warm.

The cooker will start "chirping" when the eggs are done, so you just have to unplug it to stop the chirping and to stop the cooking. The amount of water you put in the little measuring cups at the bottom of the cooker determines how long it will cook, so you just fill it to the line labeled soft boiled, hard boiled, poached, etc. I had to add a little more water to get the poached eggs to be cooked as we like them, but the level of water for the hard boiled eggs was exactly what I wanted. Good luck!

It does have a preset timer that you can program. Another person's comment states that it doesn't, so maybe it is another model, but mine has four functions including a slow cooker, rice, stew, keep warm and porridge (oatmeal) function's. It is slower than an aluminum non-stick rice cooker but the taste of the rice and anything cooked within is much better than in the usual rice cooker. Highly recommended.

The only timing function it has tells you when the waffle maker is hot enough to pour in the batter. There is no light or beep that tells you when the waffle is done. You basically just have to watch when steam stops coming out of the waffle maker to know when the waffle is done.

The "timer" is the water evaporation cycle. You put in an amount of water to cook your eggs to the way you want them done. When the water evaporates, the temperature rises and sets off the buzzer. You then have to turn off the cooker. No auto here, just some basic physics, and don't walk away from the cooker to where you can't hear the buzzer. But it's simple and works just fine. The only trick is to learn how much water to put in to get the eggs the way you like them.
