Online Cooking Timer for Multiple Dishes at Once
This online cooking timer lets you run several kitchen timers side by side, so you can boil eggs, simmer pasta, and bake at the same time without losing track. Each timer shows a labelled card with a countdown ring, and a kitchen bell chimes the moment any one finishes.
Start instantly from one of 61 food presets across 9 categories, or set your own time down to the second. Run up to 8 timers together, and your active timers stay put even if you refresh the page or close the tab by accident. It is built for home cooks juggling several dishes, meal preppers, and bakers who need precise timing — no app to install.
How to Use the Cooking Timer
Pick a preset or set a time
Open the Presets panel and tap a food in any category (Eggs, Pasta & Noodles, Meat, Seafood, and more) to start its timer instantly. Or set your own time in the H : M : S fields.
Fine-tune and label
Use the +1m, +5m, and +10m buttons for quick adjustments, and type an optional name in the Timer name field so each card is easy to tell apart.
Start the countdown
Click Start or press Enter in any input field. A color-coded card appears with an animated ring that empties as the time counts down.
Manage and dismiss
Pause, resume, reset, or delete any timer from its card. When time is up, a kitchen bell plays and the card flashes — tap Dismiss to silence the alert.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this online cooking timer?
Tap any preset to start a timer instantly, or type a time in the H : M : S fields and press Start (or Enter). Each timer appears as its own card with a countdown ring. There is nothing to download or sign up for.
How long should I boil an egg?
The Eggs category includes ready-made presets for soft boiled, medium, and hard boiled eggs, plus poached, fried, and scrambled. Tap the one you want and the timer starts at a tried-and-tested cooking time so you do not have to guess.
Can I run multiple timers at the same time?
Yes. You can run up to 8 timers at once, each on its own color-coded card with independent pause, reset, and delete controls — ideal when several dishes finish at different times.
Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs or refresh?
Yes. Your active timers are saved automatically and restored if you reload the page or reopen the tab, and running timers recalculate the elapsed time so the countdown stays correct. The tab title also shows the shortest running timer while you are on another tab.
Will it sound an alarm when the time is up?
Yes. A kitchen bell chime plays through the Web Audio API and the timer card flashes when a timer finishes; on phones it vibrates too. If you hear nothing, check the speaker button is not muted — most browsers also require one tap on the page before they allow sound.
Do the steak preset times mean per side?
Yes. The steak presets represent cooking time per side — for example, Steak Rare is the time for one side. Start a fresh timer when you flip the meat to time the other side.
Do I need to install an app?
No. The cooking timer runs in your browser on any phone, tablet, or computer — nothing to install. All timers and your sound preference are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded to a server.
