About this timer
Many thin pasta shapes cook in 8 to 10 minutes. Start the timer when the water returns to a boil, and check the packet for your brand.
This is the sweet spot for a focused sprint: one small task, no notifications, and a hard stop at the end. It also covers most oven timers and short breaks. Start it, switch away, and come back when the alarm goes off.
