Looking For A Timer With A Large Readout? How About The Chef's Kitchen Timer...
The Chef's Kitchen Timer is a digital timer with a large display, as the picture so clearly shows! It features numbers that are easy to read and an extra-loud alarm. It has a display stand for your counter (or desk) and a magnet so that you can affix it to a metal surface. I have a timer with large numbers, it is a favorite for the very reason that it is easier to read from a distance.

Do you own a timer?
This page was developed after a RocketMoms discussion in which one Mom, Tuula the Finn, asked, "Do I love Squidoo too much?" She had put a yummy cake in the oven and then went to work creating a page for Squidoo on the computer...two hours later her husband wondered if the cake should come out of the oven. Several other Moms who also write pages on Squidoo confessed to similar fiascos in their kitchens and the common need for and use of timers was discovered.

The Fantastic & Fun Fred-o-Matic Kitchen Timer, A Yellow Blender
Fred-o-Matic Kitchen Timer, Yellow
Amazon Price: (as of 12/30/2009)
List Price: $16.00
How about a funky 6.5 inch tall kitchen timer in the shape of a blender which sounds the alarm with music songs and a blender action!!! Amazon says, "But the fun REALLY begins when the brownies are done, when it whirls its blades, bounces it little colored beads, and plays an assorted soundtrack of seriously cornball "happy music." Fred only wishes his idol Julia Child were still with us so he could put a smile on her wonderful face." Wouldn't this make a totally unexpected and unique gift for a cook in your life!

Or Maybe It Is A Jumbo Wall-Mounted Kitchen Timer You Need...
This one is not going to get lost in a busy kitchen, is it?
Jumbo 8-in Wall Mounted Kitchen Timer - White
Amazon Price: $17.95 (as of 12/30/2009)
List Price: $14.99
This is an amazing timer; I've never seen another one like it. It is 8-inches in diameter and has extra large numbers which make it easy to read. It is great wherever you need a timer that can be mounted on the wall like in the kitchen or the classroom although it can sit on a table or countertop. I am sure that losing this timer (yes, I do lose timers) would be darn near impossible!
