If you’re cooking for a crowd, with a pot topping each burner and food in the oven, it’s hard to keep track of when each dish is done. The 5 in 1 DoneRight Timer ($24.95) offers a clever solution: a stove-shaped device with four individual timers in the position of each burner as well as one for the oven. The timers only clock up to 99 minutes, but we found them easy to use and readable at a glance. While we’re not ready to throw away our old favorite, the Polder Dual Timer Stopwatch 893-90 (which is small, portable, and times up to 20 hours), the DoneRight is a useful gadget, especially during the holidays.
