Any Great Breakthroughs In Cooking Timer Technology?

Just noting we’ve been trying a google assistant in the kitchen next to an echo. The google device hears and understands better (and the echo is heads above Siri).

Timers in the kitchen got us to buy our first plugged-in all-on listening device. If you have a smart phone, you carry an even more insidious listening device on you at all times.

If you don't have a temp probe then you might consider getting one and whether a timer integrated model would be useful for you.

There are a couple of reasons why this is better than an ordinary timer. First, numbered buttons. '3-0-0' for three minutes. It starts counting UP after a timer has gone off. When you reset a timer, it default to its previous setting.

My wife is happy using Alexa even though she needs to repeat herself several times to make anything happen. Might explain something about our relationship.

I really like this kitchen timer - https://www.thermoworks.com/TimeStick-Trio

That's more like what I was fishing for! Three separate timers plus a neck lanyard, pretty sweet.

I use a Polder probe thermometer with timer. ATK winner a decade ago. I think they now make a dual probe version, where the tip reads internal temp, and at the base where the cable is is another thermocouple that registers air temp. Good to verify smoker/grill/oven temps.

I need to splurge on two of those ThermoWorks temp/timers
