Set the timer to 20 hours

How to use the online timer

Low and slow cooking rewards patience, and 20 hours is a realistic stretch for a cut of meat that needs time to break down properly rather than staying tough. Set the timer once the oven's up to temperature, check in occasionally rather than opening the door every ten minutes, and let the last hour do the work of turning something ordinary into something worth the wait. Good braises can't be rushed.

Getting started takes one click: press Start and the countdown begins straight away, with pause and reset both on hand if you need to adjust on the fly. Because it's running in your browser, the tab has to stay open for the whole time; minimising the window is fine, but closing it or shutting your device down will stop the clock. A sound plays at the end so you know.

A browser timer beats digging out the one kitchen timer that's always gone missing, and it's one less thing cluttering your phone alongside a dozen apps you barely open. Everything runs here in the tab, so there's no download, no account, and no permissions to grant before you can start it. Free, with no registration, it's ready the moment you load the page and gone the moment you close it. If you would rather say put a timer on for 20 hours, that works too — press Start and the page does the rest.

Common questions

Is there a cost to use the timer?

No, it's free to use, with no registration, sign-up, or hidden limit on how many times you can run it.

Can I run more than one timer at once?

Yes, opening the page in separate tabs lets you track a few things at the same time, each counting down independently of the others.

Do I need to install anything to use the timer?

No. It runs straight in your browser, so there's nothing to download and no account to create.

Will the timer keep running if I close the tab?

No. Closing the tab or the browser stops the countdown, so leave it open until the timer finishes.
