Why a 15 minute kitchen timer works
- Readable from the sink
- Plus a minute mid-cook
- Works on a tablet propped up
A kitchen timer that lives in a tab: readable from the sink, loud enough through a wall, and extendable by a minute when the pasta disagrees.

Questions people ask
What needs exactly 15 minutes in the kitchen?
Basmati rice off the heat, roasted vegetables at high heat, a tray of chicken thighs finishing, a proving dough's second rest, and most oven pizzas.
How do I stop it turning into an hour?
Let the alarm end it, even mid-task. The habit survives because it is short, and it stops being short the first time you ignore the alarm.
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.
