Hi, has anyone seen a wind up kitchen timer that counts down for 90
minutes or two hours? All I've seen are the one hour ones. I'm eager
to find one. Thanks!

Nope but if you buy a cheap digital watch say $10-15, they usually include a
countdown timer, stopwatch, and alarm clock, which can be used simultaneously.

Best,

Nope. Most wind-up I've seen are are 60 minute (what my mom used to call
'egg timers', but who would want a 60 minute egg?!). I got a digital,
sticks to the fridge with a magnet cooking timer that counts in seconds,
minutes and hours for about $2.00 at Target several years ago. Takes a AA
battery. Also requires that you remember to set the timer <G>

Me, I'd have to remember to take the timer with me! When I set the oven
timer (moderately loud buzz), I can usually hear it at my computer --
but not always. So I keep a little Polder timer/clock unit next to me
hear. Usually I remember to set IT, too. Usually.

I agree. I rarely use the timer on my oven, I find it is better to use
my watch (which has a 23 hour and 59 minute timer), since it follows me
around in case I go out of earshot of the oven.

Thanks for the replies. Guess I've got to go digital.

For years I had a stove that did not have a timer/clock (egads!) That's
when I had to get the digital. I still rely on it even though my stove now
has a timer. The beep is annoying enough to wake me from a dead sleep

Mervyn's has a nice little digital kitchen timer for $6
which always seems to be always on sale. I bought one last
year for non-kitchen purposes and I paid $3. It was "lost"
a few weeks ago, so I replaced it and paid $4 this time.

So far, I've bought 2 and didn't paid full price on either
one.

i just bought a small digi one with a magnetic back that i keep on my
fridge. it times for 19 hours and 59 minutes. i got it from
walmart.(asda in the u.k.) and it cost £2. something.it is invaluable.

Wind Up Kitchen Timer for 90 Minutes?

I've seen the digital types in the grocery stores. Might have to settle for
that type of timer. Most of what I've seen is priced at less than $10.00...
