I have gone so far as to set the timer but not hit the start button
when I put the stuff in the over. It tends to happen more often when
I am doing multiple batches of things like cookies. Set the timer,
hang it around my neck, start it for the first batch. This particular
timer returns to the set time when you hit stop so I am likely to
forget to start it again.
