Timers

Kitchen timers for cooking and baking

A kitchen timer is a simple way to keep track of a specific cooking time without constantly checking the clock. It can be useful throughout food preparation, from boiling and baking to roasting in the oven.

Use a cooking timer for eggs, pasta, cakes, bread or any recipe where timing matters. Set the time you need and continue with other tasks while the timer keeps track of the minutes.

A simple alternative to using your phone

A smartphone can work as a timer, but a dedicated kitchen timer means your phone can stay out of the cooking process. It provides one simple function and can remain ready for use in the kitchen.

The Singles timer is part of the Singles collection, which brings together functional products for everyday kitchen routines.
