What’s Cookin’, What’s Done? New Kitchen Quad-Timer Makes Holiday Multi-Tasking Easy

BOSTON, Massachusetts - Oct 10, 2006 - A new kitchen timer is sure to help coordinate the meat with the potatoes come this holiday season. The Chef’s Quad-Timer provides four countdown timers with indicators arranged to look like a 4-burner cooktop - what’s on the stove and what’s being timed are intuitively linked.

The Chef’s Quad-Timer, a creation of American Innovative, is a 4-task multi-timer designed to make coordinated cooking tasks easier. The new product is available in stores or direct from the manufacturer at www.americaninnovative.com.

"The multi-timer I owned previously had several timers but didn’t allow me to link running timers to dishes on the stove. I would get distracted doing other food prep and then forget which timer corresponded to what," said Adam B. Hocherman, the inventor of the product and President of American Innovative, LLC. "The Chef’s Quad-Timer is my solution to this problem. Green lamps indicate which burners are still cooking, red lamps are done."

The Chef’s Quad-Timer comes in two versions. The basic model is made of rugged black plastic with white trim. The Quad-Timer Professional features a brushed-stainless face and soft-touch rubberized housing, which nicely compliment today’s modern kitchens and appliances. Both models feature a large dual-LCD display, easy-set dials, and a batch function for repeatedly timing things like cookies.

Julie Strietelmeier is Editor in Chief at The-Gadgeteer.com, which specializes in new product reviews. "Prior to using the Chef's Quad-Timer it was a hassle to set the timer on the microwave for one dish and the stove timer for another. Now it’s easy to coordinate the main course with the sides right from one location on my counter."

The Chef’s Quad-Timer basic and Professional models retail for $19.99 and $29.99 respectively, and are available on-line at www.americaninnovative.com and in high-end kitchen stores. American Innovative is a Boston-based manufacturer of innovative consumer electronic products including the Neverlate 7-day Alarm Clock.
