       Maybe this would only be active when the timer is close to the end of its run? Say, the last 10 minutes of the time set.

       'Cause manually hitting the "cancel" button would be just too much effort......

       People forget to cancel the timer. I know I do. This backs them up.

       And people forget to turn off the oven, too. Let's make the timer and the oven shut off once the weight sensitive oven racks realize that no food is left in the oven......now there's an idea....

       bristolz: but then the timer itself reminds you... (Wondering if you have a different kind of timer: mine makes a loud buzzing sound.)

       Assuming the timer shuts off the oven.
