Pasta Timer
Free Pasta Timer in your browser with presets, dish labels, and sound alerts. Boil spaghetti, penne, and fresh pasta to al dente by the package minute, not by.
How to Use
- Open the Pasta Timer page and pick a preset or enter the time from your recipe.
- Label the dish or batch in the task field so parallel cooks stay identifiable.
- Start the countdown at the recipe-defined moment, like the water boiling or the pan reaching temperature.
- Stay within earshot and let the timer run; open the oven or lid only when checks are due.
- When the alarm sounds, confirm doneness by sight, feel, or thermometer before serving.
