Mixed Feelings
The timer has much to recommend it: solid feel, attractive, easy to spot in the kitchen, loud signal. Two concerns, which are significant: you cannot set seconds, only minutes, which means if you want to time something for 2-1/2 minutes, you can't. Also, to set minutes, you must press the minute button each time -- which means for a 45 minute bake, you press down 45 times. Other timers you can hold the minute button down and it cycles through the numbers until you get where you want it to be.
