OK, now this is clever. It's a kitchen timer shaped like an oven, with five separate timers corresponding to four burners and the oven itself, so you can keep track of separate dishes' cooking times with a sort of built-in "visual aid" so you don't have to remember which timer goes with which dish. It comes in silver, red, white, and black.I admit I fall prey to "cute and clever," so I do want to be sure to mention a few potential drawbacks:
- It's a bit pricey at $24.99 (hence it comes under the Friday "luxury" post). Also, although it's available on Amazon, it's actually sold through Target.com/ITC, so it doesn't qualify for free Amazon shipping. If you're interested in this, you might be better off trying to buy it in person at Target (although they have a bad reputation for returns) or perhaps Bed Bath & Beyond or a kitchen store.
- It's fairly new, so as of this writing there is only one customer review on Amazon, and there isn't as much detail in the product information as I would ideally like.
- From the picture, it appears that the highest increment you can set by is five minutes. When you're cooking a turkey and want to baste in two hours, that's a lot of clicks to get there!
