Why don’t kitchen timers count up as well as down? Isn’t that a valid use of a timer? What if I’m eyeballing something on the stove and I just want to know how long it’s been cooking. My only choice is to set the timer to some random time and do the math to figure out the time.
I would think it’d be a simple thing to make timers that count both ways. Maybe it’s just me.
I got a timer that starts counting up after it signals the end of its count down and you hit the “shut up” button. It came with two timers, one that is a dial type and mechanical. The electronic one has the count up function as well as a clock when not in timer mode. 🙂
it’s called a stopwatch…
