Sometimes timers aren’t enough. I set a frozen pizza in the oven, put a 7 minute timer on my Google home, but I was in the middle of a game and absent minded my turned off the alarm when it went off without realizing that the pizza was done and I need to grab it. 45 minutes later I’m wondering how long 7 minutes can truly be and why it smells like burnt pizza.
I got a little old fashioned wind up kitchen timer since the sound is different than the timer I use for anything else. Idk if it helps.
I think for cooking, it’s important to have habits. I don’t turn off the alarm until I’m physically getting up. I try to avoid cooking when gaming, too. Or at least try to avoid any gaming situation where I couldn’t quickly leave to cook. It’s actually something I wish PC games could copy from consoles. Every modern console can pause anywhere, which isn’t possible in some PC games and makes it easier for me to take breaks.
I play mostly online competitive games which you can’t pause on console either haha. Yeah I’ve gotta built better habits for sure but I do slip up here and there.

Good timers are only on the oven/microwave timer. You have to physically be there to turn it off.
They’re too far away and I won’t hear them if I have my headphones on which I do almost always
But then
