Good Product: Polder Triple Timer

2007_01_17-Timer.jpgThere's digital timers, and there's double digital timers, and then there's triple digital timers - like this one at Sur La Table.

The Polder Triple Kitchen Timer and Clock ($21.95, Sur La Table) has three separate timers, plus a clock and a stopwatch feature (for when you have to beat those eggs for exactly 39 seconds). It can go up to 20 hours, which is nice for long-cooked braises and bread rises, and it has a big face so you can see the numbers easily.

This is both new to Sur La Table and on a special price, although it's not available until February. For those times when you're trying to get everything done at once, balancing the soup against the fish, this might come in very handy.

I'm a big fan of the four channel timer that I use in lab. True, it doesn't display all the times at once, but it counts up and down and has four different beeps, which is completely necessary in a large lab.

My name is linked to my thisnext page on the item in question. You can get this from almost any science supply joint.

I put velcro on mine, so I can stick it next to a small whiteboard I have in the kitchen. I drew three little boxs on with permanent marker that line up with each timer, so I can label what each is for.

Sidenote: Amazon sells it for significantly less and it's eligible for Prime/Super Saver shipping.
