What is a good kitchen timer that you use a lot? I have had my share of crap. Want something durable that is not OT Baller on price. TIA. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcheers.gif)

Rarely use one.
But the microwave timer function works really well.

No offense, but I think you're over thinking this one. It's just a timer...

Get one like this:
You want one where you can punch in the time DIRECTLY, not with repeated button presses. You want minimal button presses. I like one that counts up or down (most do). If you need multiple timers buy another one. My second one is this. It hangs around your neck so yo can move around and not miss the alarm.
I have this one, but with multiple timers, it doesn't stay on the active timer, which results in more presses. Very aggravating to me.
You definitely don't want one like this:
I also tried this one that was recommended by America's Test kitchen. I don't recommend it at all. More complicated than it was worth. And more expensive, too.
ETA: I think the Twist Timer linked above by Unobtanium above would be great, too.
