When a 997 Minute Timer Comes in Handy
A 997 minute timer is useful in many situations:
- Paint & Glue Curing: Many paints, varnishes and adhesives need several hours before the next coat or before they can be used.

- Cold Fermentation: Sourdough and pizza dough develop more flavour during a long, cold proof in the fridge.
- BBQ & Smoking: Pork shoulder, ribs and brisket smoke low and slow for many hours. The 997 minute timer reminds you to check the temperature and wrap the meat.
- 24-Hour Challenge: Game jams, hackathons and charity streams often run around the clock, and 16 hours and 37 minutes on a big screen keeps everyone motivated.
