Cute but short on timeI believe that it actually only times 2 minutes 56 seconds, but I still use it.

Great 3min Egg Timer. Tested time right on the money!Did not purchase for hard boiled eggs! I talk every morning with a Ham Radio group. The system has a 3 minute timer to talk without a break. Some members talk to much and time out the system. Then we have to wait for it to reset. It is very easy for 3 minutes to pass by when ones turn. I have timed out the system a couple times myself. My radio has a programmable timer set at 3 minutes. At that time, it will stop transmitting. However, 3 minutes times out the main transmitter. I needed something for when my turn that does not transmit a noise like a kitchen digital timer. Thought, aha…A 3 minute egg timer to the rescue! Works like a charm, I can start talking while watching the sand. When it gets near 3/4 in bottom, I know I have 30 seconds left. This allows me to end my turn without hitting 3min mark! I told the other Hams that I am using a “chicken timer”. They could not figure out the meaning until I said 3 min egg timer from Amazon. I ordered 3 of these Norco Brand timers. Tested each one against cell phone clock with second hand. 2 are exactly 3 minutes, and last one is 3min 5 seconds, close enough to perfect. Great price and now I have egg timers in each room where there is a Ham Radio.

great for the calm down cornerI had one just like this from an old game. I’m using it for the ‘take-a-break’ or calm down spot in the classroom. I have tried battery timers before but those have annoying beep that interrupts the class. This is silent, and all they do is flip it over for a visual way to see 3 minutes.

ConvenientThe battery status indicator shows nearly full when it’s actually low or essentially dead.

Mom trick 43= tooth brushing + timerI 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.
