Kitchen Multi-Timer

This kitchen multi-timer lets you run several cooking timers side by side — one for the roast, one for the potatoes, one for the vegetables, one for the gravy — each with its own name, countdown and alarm. Add as many as you need, start them individually or all at once, pause or reset any of them, and the timer that finishes rings and turns red so you know exactly which pan needs attention.

It doubles as a meal-timing planner. List each dish with its cooking time and enter when you want to eat, and the planner works backwards to tell you what time to start each one so everything finishes together — the classic way to get a holiday dinner or Sunday roast on the table hot.

Timers are based on the system clock, so they stay accurate if you switch tabs or your screen dims. Keep the tab open and the volume up to hear alarms; browsers only allow sound after you have tapped the page once. For food safety, a timer tells you when to check — always confirm meat and poultry with a thermometer.

Each timer stores the exact moment it will finish (start moment + duration), and the display shows that moment minus the current time. Because it reads the system clock rather than counting ticks, timers stay accurate even when the browser slows down background tabs. Pausing saves the remaining time; resuming sets a new finish moment.

The planner works backwards from the serving time: a dish that cooks for t minutes must start t minutes before you eat. The longest dish starts first and sets the total time you need in the kitchen; the others are staggered after it so all of them finish together.
