Very curious, why is "3:04 PM" named Kitchen in the time package?

Is it because it is time to go to the kitchen to cook? It seems that 3:04 PM is too early

My best guess: it's the most common way kitchen timers that also are
clocks display the time. It's not the specific time that is
"kitchen"-likem, but rather the format. Ditto for the clocks you often
find on ovens and microwaves: their displays usually are in the format
(in the US, Europeans usually have 24h time).

Best,
Tobias

It's not the time, it's the time format. Formatting in the time package happens according to how the reference time is displayed:

Layout = "01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700" // The reference time, in numerical order.

1234567. With PM chosen to distinguish between a 3 (meaning 12h clock hour) and 15 (meaning 24h clock hour).

And yes, Tobias is correct that "Kitchen" refers to "what the clock on your microwave or oven may show" - as long as you live in a 12h clock country, at least. So "3:04 PM".

From the standpoint of my house it should have been called "Nightstand" where the clocks show AM/PM.  In my kitchen both the stove and the microwave are just 12-hour clocks with no AM/PM setting nor indicator.
