time up to three activities simultaneously with easy-to-use functions, 3 distinct alarms that sound for up to 1 min., and a clock display that makes this the perfect timepiece for a kitchen or garage. The large, easy-to-read LCD face tracks 3 activities at once to and from 100 hours. Comes with a memory feature, plus a clip, stand, magnet and hanging hole for versatile use. Requires 2 AAA batteries (included).

Cook three dishes at once without the hassle of estimating individual cooking times. West Bend’s convenient digital triple timer features three separate alarms that signal when dishes are done. An easy-to-read LCD screen calculates up to 100 minutes in timer mode and notes the hour, minute and second as an AM/PM clock. Its simple design provides a separate button for each timer for straightforward programming. The alarms steadily beep for a minute, or until the user pushes the on/off button. A memory function also recalls the timer’s previous setting--useful for baking several batches of cookies of canning several pots of jam.

Equipped with a clip, magnet, hanging hold, and stand, the timer conveniently perches on a countertop, hangs from a cabinet hook, affixes to the refrigerator, or clips onto an apron pocket. The timer is powered by two included AAA batteries. For best results, wipe clean with a damp cloth. The timer measures 2.7 by 3 by 0.7 inches, and weighs 1 pound upon shipping. West Bend covers the product with a one-year warranty. --Jessica Reuling
