Electronic Kitchen Timer

So much more accurate than the wind-up timers, these are a basic necessity for any kitchen. Look for one with a clip-on feature and a long, loud chime or alert. If you can’t take it with you or hear it, it’s of no use. I like the very simple styling. It times only one thing (less confusing), but also has a time-up feature and a clock. The loud buzzer goes off for a full minute, then continues silently to let the cook know how much actual time has elapsed.
