I am a little bit obsessed with kitchen items and my cupboards and drawers are full of things I buy thinking that they will make my life so much easier and then they just sit there never to be used again. My two favourite brands are Lakeland and Kitchencraft who both do load of useful and not so useful kitchen items and I own several products from the both of them. The wind-up timer costs around the £5 mark and for this you get a really stylish timer. There is nothing fancy about it but it does look good on my kitchen worktop and fits in well with my modern appliances. The timer is made from black plastic and the wind-up part is made from ...  Read the complete review

This is a really simple timer but a really nice looking one that works well on my kitchen counter. We got it because it is black and matches my floor, workshop and cooker and I wanted something that was not too complicated or too big. The timer is round but has a flat front to it. The back part is the round part and this is what it sits on. The timer is wind up so it's incredibly easy to use, you do not have to plug times in or set it digitally, just just turn the nob to the desired time you need and off you go, it is set. THe knob on this timer is chrome and very easy to turn around, I have never had a problem with it getting stuck. To be honest the timer is ...  Read the complete review

I like to bake and used to guess the timing for my cakes and buns as they are roughly done in 15 to 20 mins for the buns or 45 mins for a fruit cake, but sometimes I would pop a cake into the oven then go off round the garden and forget about it. Then come back to a slightly over cooked cake, sometimes they would come out perfect and the family would say how good they were. When I saw this timer on Amazon I thought I'd buy it as then I could set the timer and it would go off at the right time and I could hear it in the garden if I put it on the windowsill of the kitchen, this way I now have perfect cakes timed to perfection every time I bake and my soft ...  Read the complete review

I bought this little timer because it was relatively inexpensive and I liked the way it looked. I already own quite a few kitchen craft products and have never had any problems with them so I assumed the same would be the case with this one. Unfortunately I only had the timer for a couple of weeks before it smashed into smithereens and had to be binned. The timer only cost me £4.99 so it wasn't a major buy but I was still disappointed with just how cheap and plasticky it actually felt. It is made from black plastic with a chrome wind up handle and it really does look stylish and the chrome against the black had a really nice modern look to it. ...  Read the complete review

I used to have an egg timer in the shape of a chicken, it looked good, it was funky cheap and always worked well. I then dropped it and it smashed in to about 15 pieces which was a real shame! I wanted to replace it with something simple that fitted in well with my kitchen décor and this black & chrome timer was ideal for that. This is a black timer with a chrome dial. This is very simple to wind up and takes just a few seconds, it is a light timer which feels a little cheap. The timer does wind up well though and does not get stuck or stop at all, well it hasn't so far anyway. There is a rounded part to the back of this timer and the front is flat with an ...  Read the complete review
