A guy here at UC Berkeley has done research showing that all these

No kidding! But if the clock is disconnected can't do timed use of oven!

How many people use the timer on an oven? What kinds of food can
you leave in an oven for many hours without it going bad on you?

The most obvious example is raw meat which you want to start roasting
while you are still out of the house, so its cooked when you show up later.
