Kitchen timers

With useful articles and cooking recommendations.

A helpful kitchen assistant — timer with cooking recommendations

Culinary timers will help you accurately measure the time for boiling, baking, frying, and other cooking methods. On each page, you'll find not only a timer but also a useful article with recommendations for cooking different products — whether it's boiling eggs to perfection, juicy chicken, or shrimp, or achieving the right level of doneness for a steak.

The articles collect tables with cooking times for different cooking methods and product types, tips on how to achieve the right texture, juiciness, and flavor, as well as culinary life hacks. A separate section with questions and answers will help you understand the nuances even if you don't cook often.

The timer is set to the average recommended value, but it's easy to adjust it for a specific situation. If you're unsure how long it takes — just look at the table and set the desired time in a couple of clicks.

For convenience, there's a sound signal when the timer ends and a full-screen mode, so the timer is visible even from another part of the kitchen.

Frequently asked questions

How are cooking timers different from regular ones?
The cooking time for each dish is preset — no need to look up recommendations online and enter minutes manually. Just open the right timer and tap Start.
Where can I find exact times for a specific product?
Each cooking timer has an article below with tables covering different varieties of the product and cooking methods — pasta shapes, egg doneness levels, meat cuts, and so on. Detailed cooking tips are there too.
Can I change the time after the timer has started?
Yes, you can add or subtract minutes mid-countdown — for example, when you decide to cook longer or notice the dish is ready earlier. No need to stop and restart.
Will the timer keep running if I switch tabs?
Yes, the countdown continues even with the tab in the background. The remaining time is shown in the browser tab title so you can see it from anywhere.
Can I mute the alarm?
Yes, settings let you pick a different sound or mute the timer entirely — it will then count down silently.
