Best kitchen timers

A good timer is the cheapest upgrade your cooking will ever get. Loud enough to hear, clear enough to read at a glance — here are three that get it right.

1. 1

   A big, clear display, a loud alarm you'll actually hear over an extractor fan, and a magnetic back plus a clip and stand so it sticks wherever you need it.

   • Loud alarm

   • Large easy-read screen

   Wind it and go. A classic mechanical dial that never needs a battery and survives being dropped — the one to buy if you hate faff.

   • Zero batteries
   • Simple wind dial
   • Nearly indestructible
