Cooking isn't always as stress free as you'd like it to be, but at least now one part of the chore can be soothing: the kitchen timer. While your average timer might beep or whine, this new timer from Kikkerland plays classical music.

The next time you throw dinner together, set the Mozart timer—when it goes off, it plays the composer's "Rondo Alla Turca," so even if you started to dose off after a long day, at least you'll have Mozart's upbeat Turkish March to remind you to get that pizza out of the oven.

You can get one on Amazon for $17.50.
