Cooking On-Time

Are you often late with meals? Do you avoid long-running recipes? Do you ever burn food? LunchTime Timer can help.

One of the most satisfying ways to feed your family is with freshly baked bread. If you have young children to feed they can watch the magical process as flour turns to dough, rises on its own and gets baked into delicious fresh bread. That's the theory anyhow. In practice making bread takes more than three hours and requires six steps: to me that's six opportunities for procrastination.

Have you ever tried to serve a two year old their supper one and a half hours late? They are pretty good at letting you know exactly how frustrated they are at the delay. Telling them it's special bread baked by Papa doesn't improve the situation.

The solution is LunchTime, the recipe timer. A simple kitchen timer app that understands multi-stage recipes. LunchTime guides you through the cooking process, no stress necessary.

The schedule for making a simple brown loaf in LunchTime looks like this. You simply follow each step as it happens.

Life is not is perfect: cooking will take longer than you expect, you will be interrupted, you may even procrastinate a little. LunchTime can still help by displaying the new serving time. You may be late but at least you know when your food will be ready.

Not Just Bread

LunchTime is perfect for bread but it's great for other recipes too. Create a schedule for any multi-step process, including batch cooking.

Side-Effects

Using the timer turns you into Pavlov's Cook: you hear the bell ring and do the next action automatically. After a while the timer had an unexpected effect on my productivity.
