A simple timer ~

When we bought our stove we were so excited because it was a convection oven and a glass top and it had all the digital stuff and it did not connect to the network or internet. We didn't really see a need to pay extra money for that and that's worked out well.

One thing we didn't check was the timer on it. It's got a way to program it to come on at a certain time and end at a certain time. You can set it up to do different things but the timer on it when the time runs out only rings once and then it just stops.

You don't know if it's ever gone off if he weren't in the room with it. That's led to several burnt pizzas and biscuits and dishes that would have been better if they hadn't been cooked so long. I finally gave in and found a digital timer battery operated to add to our stove setup.

It has a strong magnet on the back so it'll stick to the metal and we keep it right there on the face of the stove ready to go at any time. When we set it it counts down and when it gets to zero it does not stop buzzing and beeping until we go and turn it off which is what we need.

I like to using my watch or my phone as a timer and that worked just fine but if there was something cooking and Sue or my wife was the one who needed to get it out that didn't work so well. Or if I had to leave before whatever was cooking was done that didn't work so well.

My wife actually likes this timer and is excited that it does not stop because that way she doesn't forget to pull stuff out of the oven. I'm excited because it's a simple solution that works. Woohoo!
