Kitchen timer

Your phone is the worst timer in the kitchen. It locks, it needs a clean thumb, and the moment you pick it up you are reading a message instead of watching the pan. A simple timer sits where you can see it, sets in two seconds, and does not care that your hands are wet.

It has a magnet, for those of us who lose small things.

The LADJA team uses it for:

• Eggs, exactly six and a half minutes
• Proofing and resting times, so they do not become guesses
• Two timers running when the pasta and the sauce finish together
