I find using a timer on a smart watch or yelling at a voice assistant works for keeping me on task.

If I dont... Well, the other day I found some cold cinnamon donuts I had been heating up in the air fryer.

@luthis No thx. Music, a glass of whiskey and dancing in the kitchen is my solution.

I keep a lid on the rice and kill the heat once the water is boiling. Twenty minutes later it's perfect, and it literally can't burn.

What kind of rice are you cooking?

I don't have ADHD (afaik) but recently while I was making coffee, my brother told me something while the coffee was pouring from the machine, and after a while I turn and find it overflowing and leaking watered down coffee everywhere. It wasn't a fun start to my morning and it left me concerned for my short term memory lol

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.
