What is the longest time this can be set for? Need a loud warning for long cooking times.

The longest time I can set any given event is 24 hours and 59 minutes - more than enough for almost any slow cooking recipe. Even my all day, super slow smoked Texas BBQ briskets can be easily tracked. The beeper is very piercing and we can hear it virtually all over the 3000 sf house. An interesting feature is that once the alarm starts to sound, it begins counting upwards so if you were way out of hearing, at least you would know precisely how overcooked the item was..... LOL

Can this be set to seconds (or only hours and minutes)?

Well, it can count up in seconds if that's any help. Select a timer(there are 4) and just push start. It starts counting up in seconds. I don't know how far but, it went to 5 minutes at least on mine when I stopped it. It'll probably go to 24 hours and 59 minutes the reverse of how long you can set it to time anything.

Is the alert actually continuous, or does it stop beeping after some amount of time?

As far as i can tell it is continious. i did not see a limit in any documenation and so far it continies beeping until i turn it off. The longest time has been near 2 minutes. Hope this helps.

After the timer goes off, will it keep counting, so if you were delayed in coming to it you know how many minutes past zero it has been?

It does count up from zero when it goes off, keeping track of how much time has elapsed since then, but the alarm continues to go off that entire time as well, so it is unlikely you will leave it running for too long at that point.
