For the Cooks in the House

I don't mean to pry, but are your noodles soft? Do you have a hard time figuring out when to pull the pasta out of the water? Never fear, making perfect pasta at home has just become foolproof, not to mention musical.

Thanks to Solutions, you can pick up an Al Dente noodle timer.

Just pop him into the pot of boiling water when you add your pasta and he'll let you know when it's time to pull it out by singing from his favorite operas:

- at 7 minutes he’ll do the “Triumphal March” from Aida
- at 9 minutes, the “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from Nabucco
- at 11 minutes, “La Donna é mobile” from Rigoletto

Perfect pasta and great opera at the same time - it doesn't get better than that!
