Telling time in the kitchen


Recommended Posts

I don't wear a wrist watch in the kitchen. I often wear gloves when working with dough, raw meats and chicken and various other tasks and the watch face would be covered and I'm constantly taking it off to wash my hands and often forget to put it back on after drying them so it may spend some time laying around doing nothing.

Also I nearly ruined a somewhat expensive watch several years ago when I caught it on a faucet handle when reaching for something behind the sink. (no longer have that faucet - watch repair costly and also made me realize not to go puttering in the kitchen wearing items incompatible with kitchen tasks.)

The clock I pictured in my earlier post is just above eye level - the timer is at eye level and I am just under 5'8" in my shoes.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

The microwave has a clock and there's an OXO timer/clock on the stove hood that I keep forgetting is there. But I also have a clock in the shape of a coffee pot that looks just like this (except facing the other way) that I got at Target. I thought it looked "kitchen-y". :wink:
