Can I Time Two Things at Once in the Kitchen Without Using My Phone?

Roast potatoes need another twenty minutes. The fish needs six. Your phone only has one timer you can see at a glance, and it’s covered in flour.

A proper dual kitchen timer sorts that out, and the TempPro TM02 is one of the more sensible ones I’ve found.

What it actually does

Two countdown timers at once, so you can run separate events side by side.
Timers go up to 23 hours 59 minutes, which covers slow cooks and overnight proving.
It doubles as a clock and calendar, with 12 or 24 hour display.
Four alarm volume settings including silent, handy if you’re timing something while a baby sleeps.
Magnetic, so it sticks to the oven hood or fridge instead of vanishing under a tea towel.
Stainless steel jacket rather than a plastic shell, plus a backlit LCD.

Who it suits

Anyone who regularly cooks two-stage meals, bakes, or proves dough. If you only ever boil an egg, a basic wind-up timer is plenty. But the moment you’re juggling a tray bake and a pan on the hob, having two clearly labelled countdowns beats mentally tracking them.

It’s also a decent thing to have in the house for homework, exercise intervals or limiting screen time, so it rarely sits unused.
