How should cooking-time control logic be evaluated when buying a lifting noodle cooker?

Cooking-time logic on a lifting noodle boiler is less about whether the panel accepts a seconds value than about where the clock actually starts: immersion, basket touchdown, or probe contact. A few seconds' difference already shifts bite. Then ask whether the timer runs fixed or compensates as water temperature drifts; only the compensating type holds texture through back-to-back service and refills. Have the supplier run three cycles under steady heat and three while the bath cools, logging setpoint, real lift-out moment, and core temperature, and make that method your acceptance clause.
