These R2-D2 Kitchen Timers Make Cooking a Geeky Experience

— June 7, 2014 — Art & Design
In the Star Wars saga, R2-D2 is often the one who saves the day, so it makes sense to model a series of kitchen timers after this adorable cyborg character.

This cooking timer cleverly turns R2-D2's domed robotic head into a twistable dial. Chefs and bakers can set the Star Wars-themed timer for up to 60 minutes and wait as their delicious food cooks. The plastic design of this cyborg timer immaculately replicates R2-D2's robotic look from the Star Wars films. With a stylish blue, white and silver design, R2-D2 really is the perfect geeky kitchen companion. While you busy yourself with washing the dishes, cleaning or other household chores, R2-D2 will keep a sharp eye on the time and give off a loud five second ring when it's time to take your food out of the oven.
