As a single father who sometimes can’t for the life of me properly plan a meal, I find sometimes I have to run to the store in the middle of cooking for my kids. There’s also the fact that no matter where I am in my house, everybody can hear the oven timer. Basically, it’s not just on me to turn the oven off when time is up.
As for the preheat beep; I typically ignore preheating and just shove whatever in the oven and let it cook while it heats up.
And now that we’re talking about it, I actually don’t use my oven timer. I use my microwave timer. However, they are pretty much one and the same.
That’s fair! I spent a lot of my childhood hearing a loud oven beep that somehow didn’t reach the back of the house (where the person who set it was), so oven timers never really made sense compared to something more portable and customizable.
