Tool of the Week: The Taylor 4 Event Digital Timer

—Contest now closed—

A Weed Whacker For Chefs

Sep282009
Taylor 4-Event Digital Timer

Win this!

If you’re anything like me, you have a million things going on at once, especially when it comes to cooking. Even if I’m only making one dish in my postage-stamp-sized kitchen, I have at least three pots going, there’s something in the oven, two bowls are on deck for the KitchenAid Stand Mixer, and the food processor and mini-processor are on standby.

But oh, it’s heaven! My standard joke is that the ADHD just gets worse with age, especially if left unmedicated.

For professional chefs, however, a severe case of ADHD is practically a prerequisite. After all, think about it: 20 order tickets flapping in your face while you bark out orders to underlings and attempt to keep track of the micro and macro picture going on around you, all in 120 degree heat while sweat pours down your butt.

Short of illegal substances, there hasn’t been much in the way of a professional tool that will help chefs juggle a million tasks and different cooking times.

Until now.

The Taylor 4 Event Digital Timer will help any chef to climb their way out of the weeds even for a short time. This commercial restaurant timer does the following:

  • Times up to four events simultaneously.
  • Counts up to 9 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds.
  • Has a distinctive ring for each timer.
  • Provides a visual alert: an individual light flashes when each timer reaches zero.
  • It’s water resistant.
  • And this sucker is LOUD: up to 100 decibels, mandatory during chaotic dinner service.

The Taylor 4 Event Digital Timer can be yours, FREE! It’s a $50 value. Just leave a comment below by midnight, eastern time, October 5th. Check the rules here.

Last Week’s Winner!

Congratulations to Del Emory, the winner of last week’s contest, featuring the CDN Dual-Sensing Probe Thermometer/Timer. Selected randomly, this was her comment:

“Just like so many relationships that run hot and cold, especially over dinner, CDN’s probe thermometer/timer might just be the thing to save not only the meal but the relationship. No matter, it still is a great prize.”

I still remember with fondness a digital timer which let me time two dishes at the same time. Someone knocked it off the refrigerator one too many times, and they apparently aren’t made any more. This would be heaven. Thank you!
