Al Dente Pasta Timer

Al Dente” is the oddest timer ever. You cook the timer along with your pasta and when your pasta is done, it will “play operatic melodies at 7-, 9- and 11-minute intervals”!

No more guessing or tasting a hot noodle! Slip “Al Dente” into the pasta pot. After 7 minutes, he’ll play 30 seconds of the “Triumphal March” from Aida; at 9 minutes, the “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from Nabucco; and at 11 minutes, “La Donna é mobile” from Rigoletto. Non-replaceable battery is safely sealed inside. Found this description and picture of it at http://www.solutions.com/jump.jsp?itemID=10336&itemType=PRODUCT though at present time it says its not available.
I imagine the different times it plays is for different types of pasta to be cooked, so you’d follow the pasta directions as for how long to cook.
