Questions people ask
Can I run two cooking timers at once?
Yes. Open the timer in a second browser tab. Each tab counts down on its own and shows its time left in the tab title.
Will the screen stay on?
Use the keep-awake button so a phone or tablet doesn't lock while you cook. The alarm only rings while the page is open.
