Minuteries de cuisine

A digital kitchen timer counts down (or up) and sounds a loud alarm when time's up, so you never overcook the pasta, forget the oven, or lose track of a task. Unlike your phone, it's always on the fridge, needs no unlocking, keeps timing even while you take a call, and is loud enough to hear across a busy kitchen. Beyond cooking it's just as useful for study sessions, workout intervals, classroom activities, and kids' routines, which is why most homes end up wanting more than one.

Both are magnetic, easy to read, and remember your last setting. Pick by how many things you time at once:

Compact and versatile(Best Seller): the TM03 counts up or down to 99 minutes, has two alarm volumes (loud for the kitchen, soft for a quiet study), and sticks to the fridge, hangs on a hook, or stands on the counter. It's our most popular timer by far and comes in 2-packs and a study combo, so you can keep one in the kitchen and one at the desk.

Best for juggling two things at once: the TM02 runs two fully independent countdowns of up to 24 hours each on a large 2.6-inch backlit screen, with three volume levels plus a silent mode, and doubles as a clock and calendar when you're not timing.

Yes. Both models count down for timing a task and count up as a stopwatch, so you can time a 3-minute egg or clock how long something actually took. The TM03W handles up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds, perfect for most cooking, study, and workout intervals, while the TM02 stretches each of its two timers to a full 23 hours and 59 minutes for long bakes, brines, or all-day reminders.

Yes, and adjustable volume is one of the most useful features. The TM03 offers two levels: a loud setting that cuts through a noisy kitchen and a softer one for a quiet room or study session. The TM02 goes further with three levels from 70 to 105 dB plus a silent mute mode, so you can make it impossible to miss in the kitchen or keep it discreet in a library or classroom. No more alarms too quiet to hear or too jarring for a calm space.

The TM03 times one thing at a time, which covers most single-task cooking and study. But when you're running a roast in the oven and a pot on the stove, or managing two kids' activities, the TM02 gives you two fully independent countdowns on one screen, so you never lose count of either. If multitasking in the kitchen is your norm, the dual-timer TM02 is worth the step up.

Anywhere that's handy. Both timers have a strong magnetic back to stick on the fridge or any metal surface, a fold-out kickstand to stand on the counter or desk, and a built-in hole to hang on a hook or nail. That flexibility means the timer is always right where you're working, whether that's the stovetop, a study desk, or a classroom wall, instead of buried in a drawer.

Yes on both. A built-in memory function recalls your last time, so for repeated tasks like interval training, Pomodoro study blocks, or a recipe you make often, you just hit start instead of re-entering the time. Both have large, clear digits readable from across the room, and the TM02 adds a backlit screen so you can check it in a dim kitchen or during a late-night bake.

Absolutely, and that's a big reason the TM03 sells in multi-packs. It's ideal for Pomodoro study sessions, HIIT and interval workouts, classroom activities, board games, and managing kids' screen time or chores. The loud-or-soft volume options and simple one-hand operation make it friendly for kids, students, and teachers, not just cooks. Keep one in the kitchen, one at the study desk, and one in the classroom, and each does its job.

A phone timer works until it doesn't. Take a call and it may stop, a notification can bury it, the alarm is often too quiet for a running range hood, and you tie up the phone you're using for the recipe. A dedicated timer stays on the fridge, rings loud enough to hear anywhere, times multiple things without switching apps, and is safe for kids to use on their own. For anything you time regularly, a real timer is simply more reliable and less hassle.
