microwave timer
Kitchen radiation clock
The timer built into a microwave oven, used to set cooking duration.
The microwave timer has become a universal kitchen clock—people use it for timing tasks that have nothing to do with microwaving: I set the microwave timer to remind me to flip the laundry.
The beeping when time expires is distinctive enough to appear in sound effect libraries.
