    I didn’t even know that some stoves have a feature which lets you turn the burner off with a timer!

    Pretty sure that’s most oven/stove top timers as many intermediate steps in baking/cooking require set time intervals, meaning rarely do you want things to turn off when a timer ends.

      I’m glad I know now, I also learned when the stove gets too hot it does shut off. Because it was off when I went downstairs to get a drink. It smelled pretty burned.

        Glad to hear that. I imagine most modern stoves have some safety features built in, but you should still be careful - leaving a pan on a heat source (for extended periods) without anything in the pan can also damage the pan/stove top.

        Ohh my only guess was herbal tea (at first I thought maybe a bone broth but they didn’t look sturdy enough for bones).

    our oven has a “kitchen timer” and a “cook timer”, the first does what you say, the second turns the oven off. Maybe there’s another option?

    Ours appears to have 2 settings. If you press the timer once, it just counts down. If you press a second time, it will turn off after the designated time.

    we have an IKEA - and it took me far too long before we realised there was a little dot on the timer that would indicate which element it was on, and tapping the timer button would cycle through them.
