ABSTRACT:
A stove knob timer device for use with a stove prompts a user to monitor a cooking event through a series of increasingly aggressive audible prompts. The timer device includes a main housing for engaging a stove operational shaft and which, when rotated to activate a respective stove burner, actuates a timer. After a predetermined time, a speaker is activated to emit an audible alarm to prompt a user to monitor the stove and to require a reset button to be pressed. If the reset button is not pressed in a predetermined time, the speaker is actuated to emit a more aggressive alarm so as to more urgently or even awaken a user. If the timer is reset, the original predetermined time is restarted. The timer device may include programming to adjust between timer modes and have structures enabling universal fit on various stove configurations.
