Kitchen timer for cooking and baking
Use this online cooking timer for eggs, pasta, rice, cakes, bread, roasting, steeping tea, resting dough and any recipe that needs a clear audible reminder.
Three easy-to-read clock displays
Digital and flip displays show the countdown clearly across the room. The analogue display works as a real kitchen wall clock with hour, minute and second hands while the cooking countdown remains visible in its lower window.
Cooking timer sound and fullscreen
Start the timer as soon as the food reaches the required heat, keep sound enabled, check your device volume and use fullscreen when working across the kitchen. Timing is a guide, so always check food is thoroughly and safely cooked.
