What Can You Do With a 978 Minute Timer?
A countdown of 16 hours and 18 minutes works well for situations like these:
- BBQ & Smoking: Pork shoulder, ribs and brisket smoke low and slow for many hours. The 978 minute timer reminds you to check the temperature and wrap the meat.
- Overnight Marinade: Meat and tofu absorb more flavour when they marinate for 8 to 24 hours. Set the countdown and plan the next meal.
- Long-Haul Flight: Count down a long-haul flight or a night train and see how much travel time is left.
- Brining & Curing: Brining a turkey or curing salmon takes many hours. The 978 minute timer makes sure you do not overdo it.
- Paint & Glue Curing: Many paints, varnishes and adhesives need several hours before the next coat or before they can be used.
