Boil Buddy

BoilBuddy™ – Clip-On Boil-Alert Device (Available for Licensing)

BoilBuddy™ – Your Pot’s New Ears

A universal clip-on boil-alert accessory for modern cookware lines – available for licensing.

BoilBuddy™ clips to any pot handle and provides an instant audible + visual signal the moment water reaches its boiling point. It’s a simple, affordable, universal upgrade that helps prevent boil-overs and adds safety and convenience to everyday cooking.

Why BoilBuddy™?

Boil-overs are one of the most common kitchen frustrations for home cooks, students, busy parents, and seniors. Traditional solutions—timers, whistles, and smart appliances—don’t work reliably across all cookware. Brands are always looking for meaningful, low-cost kitchen upgrades that stand out in retail and online environments.

BoilBuddy™ solves this with a clean, universal approach that works with the cookware consumers already own.

What Is BoilBuddy™?

BoilBuddy™ is a compact clip-on device that attaches to a pot handle and uses a temperature-sensing probe with smart detection logic. When water reaches its boiling plateau, the device provides a clear audible tone along with a subtle LED indicator.

Key Features

  • Universal Fit: Clips to most standard pot handles—no special cookware required.

  • Smart Boil Detection: Recognizes the temperature plateau near 100°C.

  • Audible + Visual Alert: Alerts users the moment water begins boiling.

  • Detachable Probe: Flexible, easy-to-clean probe for convenience.
