Abstract: A novel programmable timer includes a sensor for sensing opening of a refrigerator or cabinet door and an alarm outputting a visible and/or audible alarm when a timer has expired if and only if the senser indicates that the door is open, thereby preventing expenditure of the alarm at times when the alarming function is likely to be ineffective. The timer is also attachable to an article of food within the refrigerator or to a wall or other portion of the refrigerator via a spring clip, magnet, and/or releasable adhesive.
