Sometimes timers aren't enough. I set a frozen pizza in the oven, put a 7 minute timer on my Google home, but I was in the middle of a game and absent minded my turned off the alarm when it went off without realizing that the pizza was done and I need to grab it. 45 minutes later I'm wondering how long 7 minutes can truly be and why it smells like burnt pizza.
I got a little old fashioned wind up kitchen timer since the sound is different than the timer I use for anything else. Idk if it helps.
Good timers are only on the oven/microwave timer. You have to physically be there to turn it off.
They're too far away and I won't hear them if I have my headphones on which I do almost always
