Culinare C35003 DigiTimer Kitchen Digital Timer, White, Plastic, Cooking Timer, Times Up To 20 Hours/Includes Stand and Rear Magnet, Battery Included

My tin opener is the same make as v the timer and has given years of service and works very well.I'm very pleased with my timer and am quite used to using it now.The ringer is really loud which is a useful feature

The usual excellent count up and countdown features. I see that this latest timer now incorporates a spring under the battery, which should prevent the very occasional power loss experienced with previous models. Easily readable display.

Beeper is loud and continues for a long time before stopping. Also has short beeps at 10 minutes before the timer is up which is useful. Has a clip on the back with a strong magnet so can easily be placed on fridge or oven. Can time for multiple hours, useful for cakes or slow cooking. Only slight fault is that if you want it on for 50 minutes you either have to press the minute button 50 times or have to wait for a while as it does it automatically.

Brilliant, even has a warning bleep before cooking time is over so that you have time to finish what you are doing elsewhere without fear of food spoiling.

This is one of those gadgets that just does what you want (and need). It isn't overly complicated, sticks nicely to my fridge and tells me when time is up with a clear and continuing set of beeps.It also has 2 other features I hadn't bought it for but now find useful:1. It will sound a short beep 10 and 5 minutes before time is up. This is actually quite useful as I know when to start preparing whatever follows on.2. It will also provides a count up feature. So for anything that requires a short interval I can simply monitor the time (in seconds).Almost perfect. Sadly, it also lacks one feature that I just wish someone had thought of:When you set the time and press the start button it will begin counting down. There is even a visual clue that it has started by way of the flashing hour:minute separator. Unfortunately when in a rush, with typically greasy, or floured hands, its too easy to not quite press the start button cleanly, and if you don't check for the flashing separator....... Oops another burnt offering!It would have been really useful to have had a confirmation beep when pressing the start button. In the meantime I'm learning to double check for the visual indicator. Not a deal breaker, just a little annoying.

This timer, like the Salter one I owned before it, can function both as a countdown timer or a stopwatch (count-up, if you like). However, the display is different depending on which mode you are using.When counting down, it displays hours and minutes, but no seconds. It goes up to a maximum of 19 hours 59 minutes. This is OK, although personally I would have preferred it to display minutes and seconds as my old timer did (it went up to 99 minutes). I miss having the seconds displayed, because there's no visual indicator that the timer is even working.When counting up, though, it displays minutes and seconds instead. This is kind of confusing, because it means you can't really know what time it says at a quick glance, unless you remember which direction it's counting. HOWEVER, the thing that really caught me out is that it only counts up to 19 minutes 59 seconds, then resets to zero and continues counting up. This really caught me out the first time I used it.Personally when I'm cooking, I always tend to use the count-up mode rather than the countdown, because I like to just use it as a visual guide to how long something has been cooking for. I'm in the habit of just putting something in the oven and hitting the 'start' button on my timer, but this timer is pretty much useless for that, because if you come back after an hour and 45 minutes it will just say 5 minutes. Fine for boiling an egg, but useless for roasts.I honestly thought it was faulty and was preparing to return it, but then I finally figured out what was happening. Now that I know, I'll just stick with countdown mode.Otherwise, I have no complaints. The magnet sticks it conveniently to the fridge door, the alarm is loud enough to hear from upstairs, and the display is easy to read, once you've figured out what the display units are.

A replacement for an identical timer which malfunctioned after around 5years of daily use. Hopefully, this replacement will last just as long.Easy to use and has a reminder 15 minutes before the timer is due to end. Good clear display.

Brilliant item and very nicely designed. A pleasure to use. Simple to operate.I bought this so that my mother could have an easy alarm for her afternoon rests. She can just set it to eg 2 hours and it's really easy to use.Unusual to get something that allows one to set more than 60 or 99 minutes. The printed instructions are pretty misleading but it does allow one to set up to 20 hours, as stated in the description, plus any combination of minutes up to 59, despite the instructions and the concerns of one of the other reviewers.Also useful for its primary kitchen use and great that it also has a brief 5 and 10 minute warning, which means one can call family members, put on the quick veg etc when the meal is nearly ready.Am now buying one for myself too.Great supplier too, as it was posted immediately first class for free.
