I've cobbled together a sous-vide temperature controller to control a crock pot, using an STC-1000.

I'd like to have a countdown HH:SS timer which I can set to the minimum cooking time. I'd want the timer to start the first time the STC-1000 closes its cool contacts indicating that the water bath is up to temperature, and then keep running.

It would be nice if the timer display looked like the STC-1000 which has a seven segment led display.

The Omron H5CX looks like it might work, but it's expensive and overkill.

Any suggestions? I'd prefer a timer module which provides the display and buttons or some other UI to set the time, but I'd be willing to entertain a small micro controller if I can find the display.
