Cake is in oven. Estimated cooking finish time 1620hrs. The oven won’t let me put in a time longer than 2 hours. Even technology has a short attention span these days.

Edit: Cake is now out of the oven, has been brushed with brandy and is cooling down under a foil cover. Next step involves more brandy and a thorough wrapping before putting it away to mature. A good rich fruit cake is a preserve, not a dessert. I will probably start eating this one in the latter half of next year.

I’ve got one of those. And stove burners that don’t do low simmer properly. Bloody annoying.

Does the oven timer switch the oven off? If not surely in todays society there are multitude of better options for a timer :P

It does turn the oven off unfortunately. I just need to make sure I reset it once or twice during the afternoon.
