When cooking as a couple or a family, we usually have 3 or 4 things in the oven or on the stove going at once. We've got the oven timer set for one thing, the microwave set for another, and maybe even an egg timer going too. And when timers start ringing, it can get confusing as to what timer is set for what...especially if the chef has momentarily left the room to tend to a crying baby/use the bathroom/etc.

This multi-timer has 4 timers, all in one place, and is made with a "white board" type material so each timer can be labeled. When the timer goes off, there would be a "ding!" and the face of the timer would glow too, giving an additional visual cue to what's done. And since each side is labeled, it's easy to know what needs to be taken out of the oven or removed from a burner. The magic eraser pen lives inside the timer, so there's always easy access. Simply wipe clean to use again. It's easy to use and program, with only 3 buttons for each side (hour, minute, start/stop/reset)*.Based on feedback, I've created a new mock-up of what the timer could look like with the buttons on top...now there's more space for writing, and the buttons are easier to access..which means less smudging and smearing
