The Olio Escargot Crawling Kitchen Timer is a kitchen gadget that just makes me giggle. Shaped like a snail (natch), when you wind it up, it keeps time by creeping along your counter top until your time is up. I imagine I would be tempted to wind it up and watch it go even if I had nothing in the oven.- [Star C. Foster]
