The other option, which I haven't seen before, would be to have a timer update the time field continuously and raise the temperature value with each insertion so you could just hit the button when the temperature gets to the next value. No typing at all.
The latter seems like the easiest option and would be handy to have at events where there may or may not be a computer hooked up to the roaster at all and if there is it's probably not set up in a way that's convenient for taking your data with you.
