    That’s literally why everyone uses a timer. If you could remember, you would just look at a clock to know how long it’s been in. The timer is there to remind you.

      Yeah, but there’s a difference between forgetting to look at a clock and forgetting that you have a kitchen.

      I never put anything in the oven without having the timer set and ready to start at the push of a button, because I have to, but I have accidentally preheated my oven for several hours many times.

      There’s a difference between overcooking your food by a few minutes making it less palatable and forgetting it the oven making it a crisp 3 hours later when you’re hungry and go looking for food.
