Kitchen Timer

Cooking the catfish, baking the bread, pumping up the heat on that pot roast? You'll need the tick tick ticking sound of a cool kitchen timer sitting on your countertop to get the meal made just right. But don't let the soft, hypnotic tune of that timer lull you to sleep lest you burn dinner and send your famished friends and family into a frothing frenzy. Whereas a stopwatch counts upwards from zero for measuring elapsed time, a timer counts down from a specified time interval, like an hourglass. The timers typically use cheap mechanisms with a flat beater that spins against air resistance. Timers can be mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic (quartz).
