A counter for your counter.
Got a second while we tell you about this handy timer? It gets its modern looks from Denmark (that’s where it was designed), and on its side you’ll find minute markers all the way up to an hour. Ready to start counting? Just twist the bottom and it’ll ding when it’s done. This one just so happens to come in a spread of delightful shades, too...perfect since you’ll wanna leave it out on the counter.

timer alarm is too soft
It looks great, but it doesn’t really ding that loud at time, so it’s easy to miss if you’re doing other things in the kitchen!
Do NOT buy
There are basic things wrong with this timer, which render it useless.
The ringer was weak from the beginning (inaudible)...if you don’t want your scones burned, carry it around with you.
And, after about 3 weeks, it just stopped keeping time, stopped ticking...F52 would not allow a return, as the packaging had been discarded...well of course it had, who saves the packaging for a kitchen timer ...?
Lovely Color
That this timer is magnetized is a big plus in my kitchen. I've not had much luck with past timers so we haven't had one for a while. We just used the microwave my other half bought (another story there.)
I named it Fred. If you don't know why, I can't help you.
It's not just for the kitchen either. We don't like the dryer to just run and run, we time it. Fred sticks to anything metal!!
Glad I bought it. Recommended to all!! Susan B.
