I was about to write that only idiots and amateurs need a timer for cooking, but then I saw that this is an ADHD group. Knowing people with those issues, I can only support your idea. Yes, for people who do have problems focusing, a timer is a good idea.
Ummm yeah cooking complex dishes it makes things pretty easy when you set a timer for things that don't need your attention constantly.
Also helps me not to burn a pizza in the oven.
What an odd thing to say. I worked in kitchens for 3 years and most professionals I met would use timers often.
Amazing. I always considered a sense for timing to be among the most important skills of a cook.
“I forgot” was never a good enough excuse to waste product.
I am definitely an idiot and an amateur sometimes so you're not wrong
