They say a watched pot never boils, but with the Boil Buoy ($10), you’ll never again have to worry about your gaze stopping the process. This nifty kitchen helper floats in your pot of water, and when the action starts, you’ll get a audible alert from the stainless steel chime, letting you know it’s time to add your food.
The stainless steel chime contains an enclosed foam core for buoyancy with a weighted bottom to ensure that the device stays upright and ready to ring. The gadget is made from 100% food- and heat-safe materials.
