The kitchen timer I used exactly three times and if it would not be too awkward to return the timer for the small amount, I would have done it. Why? 1. The time can be set inaccurately, the Zifferrad has "game" and moves after setting slightly back. 2. For me, a timer should be accurate. Compared with a parallel digital timer has at 20 minutes, a difference of one minute result. For a cake, perhaps not so tragic, for my purposes, however, already. By then bought Time Timer I am very happy, even if it is expensive.
