What could be a better way to time your cookies in the kitchen? Just dial a time and when the phone rings, the cookies are ready. It is possible to use this as a general purpose timer for anything from 1-60 minutes, but I think cookies are the obvious choice. Who doesn’t want a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie?
