Norpro 3-Minute Glass Hourglass Sand Timer with Natural Wood Base

A perfect low-tech timer for any kitchen. No bells or whistles (literally). Plenty of functionality and style though. Adds a very nostalgic touch to your cooking chores.

As advertised.

good timer from yours ago

The time is really nice. High quality I would say. However when we actually timed the timer it took 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

Works well and well made

I bought tis 3 minute timer as it is very helpful when you are cooking especially making a cake. As instructions read eat for 3 minutes!! So much easier than setting the big timer. It is cute, well made, so inexpensive & accurate

I have been raising boy's for 19 years now, and I have been using 3 minute timers for almost 16 of them as a tooth brushing timer. Because all of my boy's love to brush for 30 seconds, run out of the bathroom, and declare the job done! And I have been through all kinds of timers! Twist ones, hopping ones, loud ones, quiet ones, solar ones, battery/ plug in ones... You get the picture.Well when you throw a boy into the bathroom with tooth paste, and water you are going to burn through some timers! Believe Me!BUT a no nonsense 3 minute sand timer is nearly perfect for use! I have to say nearly because just when you think you've seen it all kids find a new way to surprise you! Lol! However I really like this timer because the smaller size means there is not a large exposed glass surface, and there's no problem with it taking up space! I will be buying another of these should it "Disappear" with that mysterious kid "Not Me".** I DO RECOMMEND for any 3 minute time jobs you have, and want a nice looking no frills timer for them. It has also been easy to clean partially due to the light finish it has on it.**P.s. I randomly check to be sure the timer is still accurate (don't forget I have boy's + that mystery kid), and it is still keeping 3 minutes time almost a year later.

Works good
