Egghead
"The adorable CDN Digital Egg Timer (Egg-Shaped Timer) isn't just for eggs. It counts up or down in both seconds and minutes up to 100 minutes. Just twist the base to set the time and then press the start button on top. Comes in blue, green, red or white."

Editor's Choice-Egg-Shaped Timer
"Made of food-safe ABS, this easy-to-use timer fuses high-performance digital technology with a modish design, and cradles oh-so comfortably in the palm of your hand. Dressed up in a range of four fashion-forward colors, including Pearl White, Pearl Lemon Grass (my personal favorite), Pearl Red, and Pearl Blue, it has added a retro feel to my eclectic kitchen. Who would have thought a timer could be so cool and reasonably priced at $12.99."

Alarming News
"If you love options, this timer has them all, including an audible alarm, a flashing light and a vibrating signal." The Audio/Visual/Sensory Timer "also counts up or down in hours and minutes or minutes and seconds. Attach the handy clip to your belt or clothing or use the magnet to keep the timer secure on the fridge or stove."

Back to Basics
"If you're not a fan of digital technology, you may prefer the CDN Mechanical Timer. This is the kind that served Mom well with a dead-simple dial that times up to 60 minutes. The three-second ring will rouse you from even the soundest nap."

Fail-Safe Portability-Timer on a Rope
"The feature that sold us on this timer is a safety lock at the top. If you engage the lock-a switch at the top of the timer-you can't accidentally turn off the timer. It's compact and extremely light."

Right on Time
"It has a temperature range of 14 degrees Fahrenheit to 392 degrees Fahrenheit and can be used as a roast thermometer with a built-in timer, an oven test thermometer or a candy thermometer."

Cool Kitchen Tools
"Quick, do you know where your meat thermometer is? If you can't find it, or you think it's time to upgrade your tools. It works as a meat thermometer and a candy thermometer. You can use it to get an accurate read of your oven temperature-plus, it's a timer. It's got a big digital display, easy to press keys and comes with special clip for safety."
Idaho Statesman
Every Kitchen Should Have One
"A digital thermometer is the quickest way to make a nervous cook into a confident chef. By inserting the probe into your roasting chicken, turkey or prime rib you can precisely monitor meats as they cook and take the guess-work out of trying to figure when they are done. There are countless uses for these thermometers. I like the CDN model because it has a wide temperature range-14 to 392 degrees Fahrenheit-can be programmed for temperature drops as well as increases, and also comes with a handy clip that allows it to be used as a candy thermometer as well."
Whittier News
Favorite Gadget
"A double-duty thermometer: You may have seen this kind of digital roasting thermometer-it has a metal sensor probe that's attached to the digital readout. The probe stays in the roast while the readout stays outside the oven, allowing you to constantly monitor changes. What's different about this model from Component Design Northwest is that it comes with a metal clip that lets you attach the probe to the side of a saucepan or kettle for a new use as a candy or deep-frying thermometer. Because the readout is outside the pot, it's much easier to see what's going on than with a traditional glass and mercury thermometer."

Probe Thermometers: Can They Take the Heat?
"Most versatile: This compact, well-designed thermometer is suitable for high-heat roasting (up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit), as well as for candy-making and deep-frying thanks to a metal clip that suspends the probe near the side of the pot. We also appreciate the fact that the temperature alert can be disabled, allowing you to use it as a simple continuous-read thermometer with no alarm. This model performed very well in test for accuracy and readability."

Tooling Around in the Kitchen on Turkey Day
"An instant-read thermometer is perhaps the most important tool for perfectly cooked-safe-turkey.It features a heat-resistant probe and cable that stay in the bird while it's cooking, and pre-programmable control module that sits on the countertop with an alarm that sounds when the desired internal food temperature is achieved."

Cooking's Too Iffy
"Nothing ruins a turkey like overcooking. To track its climbing temperature from across the kitchen, where you no doubt have other Thanksgiving duties to worry about, we like the large number display, multi-purpose function and ease of use of CDN's new Touch Screen Probe Thermometer/Timer."

"There's no substitute for practice when it comes to figuring out when the meat's medium-rare.
