How to use the online timer
A slow cooker set for 65 minutes is meant to be left alone, which is exactly why a separate timer running on your phone or laptop is handy for knowing when to check back in. Start it when you switch the cooker on, get on with your day, and come back to lift the lid only once the countdown's finished rather than every hour. Patience pays off with slow-cooked food.
Press Start and it gets going immediately, no sign-up screen or settings menu standing in the way. The one thing to remember is that it counts down inside this browser tab, so it needs to stay open rather than closed or replaced by another site if you want an accurate result. A sound plays once the time is up, which is your cue that whatever you were timing is done.
A mechanical timer needs to be wound and a phone timer needs the phone unlocked, but this one just needs the page you already have open. It sits inside your browser, ready whenever you are, and it's the same tool whether you're on a laptop or a tablet in the kitchen. Free, with nothing to install or sign into, it's built to get out of your way and count. People type this as set timer 65 minutes or timer for 65 minutes; both land here and start the same count.
Common questions
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.
Can I use the timer on my phone?
Yes. It works in any mobile browser, though the tab still needs to stay open rather than sitting behind other apps for a reliable count.
