For your specific purpose an amazon echo dot might be nice. Made cooking so much easier for me.

How did this get downvoted? Echo, set timer 2 minutes 45 seconds.

In general: fuck Amazon

Those are fair statements. I have different views on efficiency of time and money.

Same, but given the subreddit the downvotes are understandable. And I personally couldn't imagine a better device for timers, and so far, they haven't had a single issue. Might not be BIFL, but certainly worth the $20.

Okay, fair point. I actually didn't check the subreddit I was in before posting, my bad.

In terms of fuck Amazon: afaik they're losing money on selling the dots, and I don't know if you actually need to be connected to the internet for the timer to work.

Although not buy-it-for-life, I'll agree 100%. I cook alot, like solid home cook plus. My Echo show in the kitchen is killer as a kitchen timer.
