Tool of the Week: The Taylor 4 Event Digital Timer REDUX

—Contest now closed—

It's so nice, we'll do it twice

Oct162009

This Tool of the Week giveaway a few weeks back was so popular we had people BEGGING to enter. In fact, they continued to enter for a full 24 hours past the deadline.

What’s with that? Are we all such multitaskers in the kitchen these days that we need one of these things to keep us on track? I suspect that it comes in handy for non-kitchen activities as well, but who are we to judge?

In any case, we have another model here at the BehindTheKnife.com office, and instead of letting it collect dust, I say, let’s do it again!

So here goes:

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 Thursday October 23rd, 11:59 pm. Check the rules here.

BONUS! Get an extra chance to win by leaving a comment and signing up for our new weekly newsletter, The Blowtorch.

My daughter is definitely a multi-tasker in the kitchen and could really use this. (I find that using both the dial timer and the oven timer is usually sufficient for me.)

I could so use this! I seem to never have enough timers and definitely need them.

Well…. yesterday was Thursday, but today is the 23rd and comments aren’t locked, so I’ll assume you meant that this ends on Friday the 23rd and not Thursday the 22nd :-)

wow – add this to my microwave that can cook, remind me when it’s a certain time, and let me know when a certain number have minutes have passed all at the same time, and I might actually have enough timers – LOL.

pam shockley Oct 23 2009
