About the size of and similar to the style of a pocket calculator, this kitchen timer is easy for cooks with arthritic or shaky hands to set. Like a calculator, the timer has 10 keys--one for each numeral--that are large enough to easily program in timer settings with one hand. The timer counts up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds so it is equally as useful for timing quick cooking tasks, such as hard-boiling eggs, as it is for timing longer, slow-cooking meals, such as braised meats. The digital display is 1.2 inches high so readouts are large and easy to see. A clear/stop button pauses the countdown midway through and also stops the alarm from beeping once the set time has elapsed. The timer also has a start button to begin countdowns and resume them after pausing. This 10-key timer is magnetized to stick to a refrigerator or stove and also has a stand for mounting on a countertop. It measures 4-1/2 by 2 inches and runs on a single long-life battery (included). Taylor ensures complete accuracy in its readings through a one-year limited warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

good design & works well,

This review is from: Taylor 10-Key Style Timer (Kitchen)
The ten-key number pad is a good improvement on the usual timer that requires pressing a button repeatedly until the desired number of minutes appears. The other buttons are clearly labeled. This timer allows setting seconds as well as minutes,which many timers don't. The only criticism I have is that you need a screw driver to change the batteries, a minor annoyance at worst.

cheap and cheap -- but adequate,

This review is from: Taylor 10-Key Style Timer (Kitchen)
For under ten bucks, you can't go wrong. Note that the timer only counts down, not up. Also, the magnets are in the middle of the back of the timer, so when you attach it to your fridge and press on the bottommost buttons, the timer wobbles or falls off. The workaround is to attach a couple of little rubber feet or a stack of masking tape to the lower part of the back of the timer to stabilize it, but the buyer shouldn't have to solve a design flaw like that.
But again, you get what you pay for, and as long as you're not paying all that much for this, it's perfectly adequate. Cheap workmanship is fine, as long as the price is also cheap.

This review is from: Taylor 10-Key Style Timer (Kitchen)
The 10 Key design is a life saver. I'm using these in my restaurant, unfortunately they're more suitable for home use. The timers are not loud enough for commercial use unless your kitchen is not very loud. I also had to to re-bend the battery contacts for a tighter fit on two of the 3 timers that I bought, because they would shut-off during use. Only have had them for about 3 weeks, so let's see how well they hold up. Despite the shortfalls, they're keepers due the Convenience of the 10 Key function.
Update: Used the timers for several months now, and they're definitely not for heavy use. Home use should be OK, but we've killed them all. The buttons don't work well anymore and the sound is weakened or doesn't beep anymore. We'll have to upgrade to heavy duty 10-key commercial ones. Nice try though...
