Frequently Asked Questions About Vintage Kitchen Timers.
Answer: Vintage kitchen timers generally sound for between 5 – 10 seconds.
Answer: It depends on personal preference as some people do enjoy the metal look more and metal does tend to withstand the test of time more so than plastic.
As all of the metal kitchen timers we listed here are non-corrosive, this may be a better option for the kitchen as it will probably get dirty often and is easy to clean.
