Upgrading from an el cheapo $3 all plastic kitchen timer, I received, as a Christmas gift a ThermoWorks (Extra Big & Loud) kitchen timer. Big feature of the ThermoWorks is good strong magnets that hold it to the refrigerator door. And a good big LCD display. Downside, it programs in seconds. To set a ten minute time, you have to punch in One, Zero, Zero, and Zero. It would be a lot easier to work if it programmed in minutes, so a ten minute time would punch in as One, Zero. I never wanter to set a time in seconds in my kitchen. The other down check comes from “Loud”. It is only loud on a good fresh battery. With a battery strong enough to work the timer, the ring when time is up can be so faint as I cannot hear it. I just gave it a fresh new 9 volt battery to bring the ring sound up loud enough to hear.
