This is a simple but cool idea, Pot Tickers, a tiny timer that slots onto pan handles.

Pot-Tickers are a cooking timing dealy my Mom actually came up with because she would burn what she was cooking. A lot. They are handle holders which go on the skillet handle, potholders, and aprons all with digital timers attached. They solve the problem for those who don’t have any free disk space in the ol’ brain.p.u. and allow them to time everything they’re cooking (multiple items) at once and know exactly what’s done and when!
