Kitchen timer

A timer that
expects you to taste.

Set the packet reference and preferred texture. If the pasta will finish in sauce, move it early.

Pasta cooking timer

09:00

Start tasting before the target. Packet times are a reference, and the sauce pan still counts as cooking.

The timer is the prompt, not the judge

Packet times vary with pot recovery, altitude, brand and the amount of water. Start tasting before the target. A sauce-pan finish adds another one to three minutes of cooking.

Filled, fresh and gluten-free pasta require closer observation than a generic countdown can provide.
