Why Use a 986 Minute Timer?

- 16:8 Intermittent Fasting: The popular 16:8 method uses a 16-hour fasting window, and a 986-minute countdown keeps your eating window in sight.
- Overnight Marinade: Meat and tofu absorb more flavour when they marinate for 8 to 24 hours. Set the countdown and plan the next meal.
- Paint & Glue Curing: Many paints, varnishes and adhesives need several hours before the next coat or before they can be used.
- Brining & Curing: Brining a turkey or curing salmon takes many hours. The 986 minute timer makes sure you do not overdo it.
