Because no one, & I mean no one, has time to sit there & watch an egg boil the Kaboom Kitchen Timer is the friend we all need. While the Kaboom Kitchen Timer may not be as destructible as an actual bomb, it sure is loud still & is certain to rush you in getting yourself back to the kitchen to prevent that all to precious food from burning. Able to count up to 60 beautiful minutes, the Kaboom Kitchen Timer is an alarmingly useful little thing for all you easily distracted chefs out there. Can’t see this bombing personally…..ha.
