    Pretty sure that’s most oven/stove top timers as many intermediate steps in baking/cooking require set time intervals, meaning rarely do you want things to turn off when a timer ends.

      I’m glad I know now, I also learned when the stove gets too hot it does shut off. Because it was off when I went downstairs to get a drink. It smelled pretty burned.

        Glad to hear that. I imagine most modern stoves have some safety features built in, but you should still be careful - leaving a pan on a heat source (for extended periods) without anything in the pan can also damage the pan/stove top.
