About this tool
A typical home-oven pizza bakes for about ten to fifteen minutes at high heat, but the real answer depends on your dough thickness, toppings and how hot your oven truly runs. The Pizza Timer gives you a reliable starting point and a loud, clear alarm so the crust does not go from golden to burnt while you are setting the table. Press start as soon as the pizza goes in, then check the colour of the crust and the bubbling of the cheese when the chime sounds. Always follow the instructions on your package or recipe, and make sure the food is properly cooked through. The countdown keeps correct time in a background tab, so you can answer a message or lay out plates without worrying about it. Need to time a side dish alongside? Open the Rice Timer in another tab, or use the flexible Kitchen Timer for any other task. For a big, bright display on a counter tablet, the Countdown Timer shows large digits. More timers for eggs, tea, steak and sous vide live in the Cooking category.
