Mechanical kitchen timer TFA-Dostmann 38.1028.20 Turquoise 60 min

The TFA-Dostmann 38.1028.20 Turquoise 60 min is a mechanical kitchen timer designed for simple and reliable timekeeping during food preparation. Housed in a compact turquoise case with a 79 mm diameter and 32 mm depth, the device provides a clear mechanical dial that counts down up to 60 minutes. The timer requires no batteries or charging and operates by a manually wound mechanism that emits an audible bell when the set time elapses.

Advantages

The mechanical construction offers immediate operation without electronic setup or power dependency, ensuring consistent performance in a busy kitchen. Its compact dimensions make it easy to place on a worktop, attach to a magnetic surface if the rear is magnetic, or store in a drawer between uses. The simple dial and clear minute markings enable quick setting of cooking or baking intervals, and the audible finish signal helps prevent overcooking.

Suitable for

• Timing baking intervals such as cakes, cookies and bread
• Monitoring short cooking tasks like boiling, simmering or frying
• Use during food preparation steps that require precise short-term timing
• Kitchen environments where a battery-free, durable timer is preferred

Key specifications

• Maximum timing range: 60 minutes
• Housing colour: turquoise
• Dimensions: approximately 79 mm (width/height) × 32 mm (depth)
• Operation: mechanical, manual winding
• Signal type: audible bell at time completion

How to use

Turn the dial clockwise to the desired minute mark up to 60 minutes to wind the mechanism, then release. The timer will count down mechanically and ring an audible bell when the set time has elapsed. For precise short intervals, set the dial to the closest minute marking. After use, return the timer to storage or place it on a magnetic surface if applicable.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal mechanical performance, avoid exposing the timer to prolonged humidity or direct heat from stovetops. Wind only to the required time and do not force the dial past its maximum limit. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not immerse in water.
