A cooking timer is the kitchen tool you reach for a dozen times a day, and the one that fails most often when you walk out of earshot. This one runs server-side, so the notification arrives even if you close the tab, lock the laptop, or step out to the garden — pasta does not turn into glue and the simmering sauce does not reduce to caramel because the kitchen timer was tied to a single tab. Set any duration the recipe asks for. Most pasta is 8–12 minutes; rice is 18–22; a tray-bake is 25–35; a small roast is around an hour. Type a label — "pasta", "oven roast", "sauce simmer" — and the notification arrives with that label so you do not have to remember which of the three pots was the urgent one. Pick the channel that reaches you fastest in the kitchen: Telegram on the phone, browser push to a screen on the counter, or email. The timer is part of RemindMeNow, so any kitchen routine that repeats — bread proof at the same time every Sunday, weekly stock simmer — can be saved as a recurring reminder.

FAQ

Will the cooking timer go off if I leave the kitchen?
Yes. The countdown is scheduled server-side, so the notification arrives via Telegram, push, or email whether or not the timer page is open or even in the same room.
Can I run multiple cooking timers at once?
Yes — start one, label it "pasta", start another, label it "sauce". Each notification arrives independently with its own label, so you know which pot is calling.
Can I customise the cooking timer label?
Yes. Type a short label like "oven roast" or "rice rest" before pressing Start, and the notification will include that label.
Is this a good replacement for an oven beeper?
Yes — the notification reaches your phone or laptop, which is more reliable than the oven's quiet built-in alarm if you have stepped away from the kitchen.
