Zack Cundo Magnetic Digital Kitchen Timer

The Kitchen Timer That Earns Its Place on Display

Most kitchen timers are an afterthought — a cheap plastic disc buried in a drawer. The Zack Cundo is the opposite. Crafted from exclusive matt brushed 18/10 stainless steel with a sleek circular form and a bold backlit digital display, this is a timer you'll leave out on purpose. German engineering meets contemporary kitchen design in a device that is as precise as it is beautiful.

Key Features

The Cundo's large backlit display delivers clear, easy-to-read digits in any lighting condition, with an energy-saving mode that activates automatically when not in use. A magnetic back plate means it attaches securely to your fridge, oven hood, or any magnetic surface — no drawer rummaging, no misplacing. The adjustable alarm offers two volume levels plus a mute function, with a flashing display alert for silent environments where sound isn't appropriate. Timing is set in 5-second increments up to a maximum of 99 minutes and 55 seconds, giving you precise control over everything from a soft-boiled egg to a slow-roasted shoulder of lamb.

How to Use

Press the button to activate the display, then rotate or press to set your desired time in 5-second increments. Attach to any magnetic surface for hands-free use, or stand it on the worktop. Select your preferred alarm volume or activate mute mode for a silent flashing alert. Insert 3 x AAA 1.5V batteries (LR03) before first use — batteries are not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum time the Zack Cundo can count down?
The Cundo counts down up to 99 minutes and 55 seconds, set in 5-second increments — more than enough for the vast majority of cooking tasks.

Does it work as a count-up timer as well as a countdown?
The Cundo is designed as a countdown timer. For count-up functionality, you would need a separate stopwatch or timer device.

What batteries does it use, and are they included?
It requires 3 x AAA 1.5V batteries (LR03). Batteries are not included and will need to be purchased separately before first use.

Can I use it without the magnetic back — for example, on a worktop?
Yes. The Cundo can be placed flat on any worktop surface. The magnetic back is an additional convenience feature, not a requirement for use.

Is the alarm loud enough to hear across a kitchen?
The Cundo offers two volume levels, so you can adjust to suit your environment. For quieter settings, the mute function activates a flashing display alert instead.

Is the stainless steel finish durable for everyday kitchen use?
Yes. The 18/10 stainless steel construction is resistant to everyday kitchen wear, including humidity and minor splashes. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the matt brushed finish.
