Cooking Timer & Recipe Clock

Read full description

The CookingTimer is an accurate and elegant kitchen timer, made for multi-step recipes. Boiling dough or slowly roasting a whole chicken, CookingTimer keeps every moment of your preparation under control. - HOW IT WORKS Setting the time is easy. Turn the outer knob to adjust the cooking time. The dial fits every minute and supports up to 12 hours of total duration. Tap the central button to start the timer. Tap again to pause and resume at any time during cooking. - STEPS - COOK BY STEPS Steps allow you to create checkpoints that trigger an alarm at a specific cooking time. Ideal for recipes with several stages, in which the time of each phase is crucial. After setting the total cooking time, tap ADD STEPS to create a step. In each step, you can choose between two reference modes: After starting: the alarm rings a set number of minutes from the start of the timer. Before finishing: the alarm rings a set number of minutes before the end of the timer. Thus, you can schedule a reminder to add herbs 10 minutes after the oven starts and another to serve 5 minutes before finishing, all from a single timer. Press and hold any step card to show the delete button, and then tap the red X to remove it. Live Activity appears on the lock screen. - MORE CONTROLS Restart: tap RESTART to clear the timer and all steps. A confirmation is required before restarting.
