Polder 891-90 Triple Kitchen 20-Hour Timer Clock Stopwatch
Product Review
If you're cooking a large meal, one timer isn't always enough to let you know when it's time to take the pie out of the oven, reduce the heat for the vegetables, and start heating a sauce. This triple timer allows the ambitious chef to schedule all the elements of a meal, down to the second, and its loud, 30-second alarm ensures that the broccoli won't burn while you're whipping the cream. It's also portable, so if you have to leave the kitchen, wafting smoke won't be the first sign your meal is ready. If you've always wondered exactly how long it takes you to beat egg whites to a peak, the timer also comes with a stopwatch feature. --Laura Cuthbert Product Description 12/24 Clock / Up to 20 Hour Timer / Memory for frequently used settings / Stop Watch mode / Batteries are included Reader Reviews I, too, have had nothing but trouble from this timer. It worked fine for the first month or six weeks, although as others have noted the buttons are excessively debounced and have to be pressed and held to function. After that initial period of unenthusiastic mild satisfaction, however, it began to "freeze" sporadically and, more recently, continuously. Even the kids now know how to remove the battery cover, take the battery out for a few seconds, and replace it to reset the timer. I ordered a new (different) timer today, and figured I'd stop by here and leave this review while I was thinking about it. Avoid this thing. |
