Kitchen timers

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

A few years back I was given a timer for Christmas.  It had instructions in four languages written so small no one could read them with a naked eye.

 

I had a half dozen or so things that it could do, too.

 

Readings were in F, C, and something else.

 

It ran through AAA batteries like crap through a goose, and after the first year didn't keep good time.

 

Las t night I threw it agains the garage wall and this am I bought a mechanical one almost exactly like Mom had in her kitchen until she died. and one we had until it copped out and I got the new one for Christmas. 

 

$6.39. 

 

So far it works perfectly.  No batteries, one function, simple instructions on the back of the case.

 

One more over-priced non-essential computerized POS because some people just feel the need for something that isn't "modern".

Fortunate to have a bunch of Mom's kitchen stuff, sibling isn't a cooker.  Fond memories of her & growing up every time I use any of it.

Is this the twist dial with real bell ringer???  If so it is the only one I can hear....All the others I can not hear....Unless it is setting under my ear....
