Kitchen timers with stopwatch

Stopwatch

— a feature that allows not only counting down time (like a classic timer) but also counting up from zero, recording how much time has already passed. This option is especially useful when you need to monitor the duration of a process without a predetermined interval — for example, soaking, infusing, cooking "by eye," or checking the time between preparation stages. The stopwatch is only available in electronic timers, where it can be accessed through a separate button or mode. The time is displayed on the screen in the format of minutes and seconds, and some models can show hours for prolonged use. This is a versatile feature that expands the functionality of the timer and makes it more flexible for use in the kitchen and in everyday life.
