How to use the online timer
Minutes cover most of what anybody times. Tea and coffee steeping, eggs at every degree of doneness, pasta, rice and vegetables, a study block, a nap, a meeting, a stretch of practice, two minutes at the sink morning and evening. It is the unit recipes are written in and the unit a working day is broken into, which is why the great majority of these pages sit in this range.
The thing worth watching at this scale is the starting point rather than the number. A count that begins when the water reaches a rolling boil and one that begins when the pan goes on the heat can differ by five minutes, which is most of a soft-boiled egg. Decide where zero is before pressing start, and the figure becomes something you can rely on twice.
