I got half-a-dozen cheapo countdown timers from DX for the same price and have them dotted all over the place. Really handy when you need multiple timings. Not as groovy looking, mind.
Did it come from this guy?
I prefer skeuomorphic veggies to count my minutes.
I like my poached eggs cooked for exactly 3 minutes and 30 seconds. So⌠kind of useless IMO.
For an actually useful timer, see this industrial class unit from Thermoworks. Four different volume settings, from pretty loud to crazy loud (110 decibels). Large digit display. Settable to the second. Can count down, or count up. Strong magnet to attach to a metal surface, or wall mountable by screw keyholes, or flip out the stand for use on tabletop. Memory recall for repeated timing for the same duration. Splashproof to IP65 specs, and can be set to time for more than 4 days (99 hours, 99 minutes, and 99 seconds).
But hey, have fun with your cube.
Siri, set timerâŚ
âDid you mean, âblow up the worldâ?â
I just use my phoneâŚ
For us:
Cortana set a timerâŚ
or
OK Google set a timerâŚ
or with an Amazon Echo, in the kitchen at least, itâs
Alexa set a timerâŚ
(Or we just set it on the oven or microwave)
My first thought was: cool but is there a T12 or T20 version?
My first inclination is to roll it. âThirty minutes? Aw, come on.â
Well⌠twice the price but like, 12x the functionality!
& TWO colors to choose from!
This is probably the dumbest question on the entire internet. But whatâs on the 6th side?
Reverse, for when youâve burned the dinner.
I love that thing. I bought four of them and threw out all my other kitchen timers except for their TimeStick, which I use for grilling. The differentiator, besides its incredible loudness, is the big number pad. No more mental spin-lock while holding the âminutesâ button down for 15 seconds.
Theyâre also great for rest time between sets while lifting weights in a home gym. Clang it right onto your weightlifting rack.
I have a blue one â I use it for making sure Iâve brushed my teeth for long enough. One less thing to think about before coffee.
A teeny LCD display for the countdown.
