Norpro Three Minute Wood Timer (1473)

I bought tis 3 minute timer as it is very helpful when you are cooking especially making a cake. As instructions read eat for 3 minutes!! So much easier than setting the big timer. It is cute, well made, so inexpensive & accurate

Accurate times 3 minutes. Classic design looks nice on the counter yet small enough to fit in a drawer without taking up lot of storage space.

Perfect little timer

I have had a few of these hour glass-shaped timers over the years and they all had two features in common, that they can get broken by rolling off the edge of a table or counter top and although advertised as three minute timers they are not accurate and can be off by +/- 15 seconds or so.But with some interpretation they can work well enough for timing the steep time of a cup of tea.

Fine, as expected

Great gift

I have been raising boy's for 19 years now, and I have been using 3 minute timers for almost 16 of them as a tooth brushing timer. Because all of my boy's love to brush for 30 seconds, run out of the bathroom, and declare the job done! And I have been through all kinds of timers! Twist ones, hopping ones, loud ones, quiet ones, solar ones, battery/ plug in ones... You get the picture.Well when you throw a boy into the bathroom with tooth paste, and water you are going to burn through some timers! Believe Me!BUT a no nonsense 3 minute sand timer is nearly perfect for use! I have to say nearly because just when you think you've seen it all kids find a new way to surprise you! Lol! However I really like this timer because the smaller size means there is not a large exposed glass surface, and there's no problem with it taking up space! I will be buying another of these should it "Disappear" with that mysterious kid "Not Me".** I DO RECOMMEND for any 3 minute time jobs you have, and want a nice looking no frills timer for them. It has also been easy to clean partially due to the light finish it has on it.**P.s. I randomly check to be sure the timer is still accurate (don't forget I have boy's + that mystery kid), and it is still keeping 3 minutes time almost a year later.

super small, accuracy is good but pictures make it appear bigger than actuality. read the description.
