What’s better in the kitchen…

Happy Sunday crunchers! Making some meatballs this Sunday and needed to poll the cooks and grills. I’m split between wearing my Tudor, Sinn or G Shock when cooking.

For cooking, grilling or baking what do you prefer?

Love that 144! Such a sweet, retro-inspired chronograph.

The one on your wrist.

Well played.

Casio with programmable countdown timers. 11 mins for my favourite soup dumplings

When you asked " what's better in the kitchen ? " I only had one answer and it has nothing to do with watches or timing.

But I don't think I will mention it. 😂😂

Dive Chronograph is my choice

I’ve usually used the minute and second hands- if the G-Shock has a countdown timer, that should be useful. Are we talking milli- or microseconds?

·

Logic tells me g shock, and that has been my go to in the kitchen lately, but something is so simple and beautiful about just twisting a bezel and keeping an eye on it. Just gotta stay a bit more focused

I usually wear divers in the kitchen. The Sinn is super cool though! I’ll wear that just because 😅

·

i’ve always maintained that the JLC Memovox is the best watch for the kitchen

Useless only if you never look at your watch. As the kind of person who contributes to a watch forum, I think we’re all the kind of person who regularly looks at their watch whether we need to or not 😁

I regularly look at my watch… 20 minutes after the time I set my dive bezel to… to remind myself to do a thing in 5 minutes.

·

I find that a bidirectional bezel is the most convenient and useful for things such as this. May not have the same click ASMR, but it sure makes more sense for non diving uses.

·

I glance at the microwave time once in a while but always end up forgetting what time I started anyway.

Apple HomePod. Subwoofer is equally effective for tunes and booming timers at me across the room. No need to wash my hands to press a button! Can also ask it how much time is left and name each timer after the ingredient you’re using. “How long left on the pasta timer? How long left on the oven?” I love watches but realistically they’re just for the time when I’m cooking. Maybe I’m just messy 😂

·

I work, professionally, in the kitchen. We have a board of timers (8 with different lenghts of time). No watches allowed in the kitchen.

At home, I time nothing.

·

I was on pancake duty yesterday and there was only one when complete accuracy is required. Nods of approval from my son who took on the task of timing god, a shake of the head from my Mrs who thought we were both nuts. The pancakes? Perfection apparently 😎

I prefer the wife in the kitchen if i want something edible 🙄

Even for boiling eggs (which have to be in boiling water for 5 minutes to the minute) I rather use a timing bezel than a chronograph. There's a 30 s tolerance. I don't cook with finer times.

A coundown timer with alarm on a G-shock is handy indeed, but not as stylish.

I also have a moka-pot-shaped mechanical kitchen timer (very low beat rate, like 1 Hz or something), but it was very cheap and doesn't work well anymore. I bet the movement has more plastic than Powermatic C07.111 and world oceans combined.

Ya, my Vostok is best for this. Anyway, I think more non-certified diver-style watches should adopt bi-directional bezels. Clicking or with good friction. It's much more convenient.

·

I own A-C, kitchen time is the best. It will let you know in any room when the timer has ended. The difference with the chronograph and the diver is the bezel. The diver you just need to do a quick glance and you mentally have all the information. The chronograph you have make an effort to look at the sub dials. Chronograph diver watch is the best option.

Love wearing my dwm5610 when I'm in the kitchen. To have the stop watch and timer set to my liking is very convenient. Plus when I'm cooking, I'm on a roll, I don't have time to be careful not to hit my watch.

I’ll use the Casio, or my phone… I’ve tried to time things with my dive watch, but I keep on forgetting to check it as often as I should.
