Urge race official to produce kitchen gadget (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
egg timer
'produce kitchen gadget' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'urge race official' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'egg' (as in egging someone on).
'race official' becomes 'timer' (I've seen this in another clue).
'egg'+'timer'='EGG TIMER'
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for egg timer that I've seen before include "Kitchen item" , "Hourglass device used in cooking ova" , "Miniature hourglass" , "Sandglass that runs for three (or four?) minutes" , "It goes on briefly in the morning" .)
