MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
For a tasteful, and reliable, magnetic kitchen timer.
Latest effort was a Jospeh Joseph one (I know, the name alone should have been a fair warning of shitness). As much use as tits on a bull.
So, Saturday night beer swilling STW people, do your worst! Recommend me a tasteful and reliable, magnetic kitchen timer.
Note - Tasteful. 🙂
Tasteful? Are you going to eat it? If not, go with practical over tasteful...it isn't an Apple product!
Valid, but that's why I mentioned reliable! By tasteful, I mean nothing of the Colin Hunt School of Comedy type of design!
Surely the microwave has its own timer? For anything else I have a watch or my phone.
i once ran a 1 week old integrated microwave empty in order to time a steak i was cooking on the hob next to it
killed it dead 😆
Don't have a microwave. 🙂
Poundland sell 'em. 🙂
not magnetic - but been through several - e.g. Body - bell timers. All crap. Have settled on an old trad. Slater timer from my folks' house, heavy enough not to budge and sets off a bell fit to wake the dead..
Been rocking one of these hip and trendy numbers for nearly 10yrs.

Salter have update it with an even more stylish unit.
Stoner and Brakes appear to be bang on trend with the latest stylings.
Ta.

IKEA. Has lasted us about 5 years.
Rally style stopwatches, never go out of fashion and reliable.

Well this has devolved quickly.
Personally, I'd go old school and time by primer fuse, the wait isn't so tedious that way.
fasthaggis wins the thread. And it even says 'Pye' on it, which sounds a bit like...
Would be better if it was all brushed steel rather than chrome.
