15 Minute Cooking Timer
A quarter-hour on the hob, in the oven or resting. Loud enough to hear from another room.

Why a 15 minute cooking timer works
- Loud alarm through a wall
- Full screen from across the kitchen
- Add a minute without restarting
Rice off the heat, roasted vegetables at high heat, thighs finishing, dough on its second rest and most oven pizzas all live at this length.
How to spend the fifteen minutes

Questions people ask
Can I use this while my phone is locked?
Keep the tab open and the screen awake for the most reliable alarm. The timer requests a screen wake lock where the browser allows it, so the display stays on until the end.
Is 15 minutes a day really enough?
For maintenance in an average home, yes. Deep cleaning and big sorting jobs still need their own longer sessions.
What if I do not finish in 15 minutes?
Stop anyway and note where you reached. The point of the block is that it repeats tomorrow, and it only repeats if it stays short enough not to dread.
Does the 15 minute cooking timer work offline?
After your first visit, yes. The page is cached by your browser, so it opens and runs without a connection.
