Fantastic news to close out the week: Boil Buoy just passed its presale threshold to become Quirky’s next product in production, just a day shy of six months after it launched in the Quirky store!
A big congratulations to ideator Ryan Kent, the 214 people that influenced this product, and the dozens of community members who rallied around it in the forums. You done good.
Always know when your water has come to a boil with Boil Buoy! Just place Boil Buoy in your pot of water, turn up the heat, and wait for the ringing chime to let you know your water’s ready to go.
Boil Buoy features:
- Stainless steel chime, with enclosed foam core for buoyancy
- Weighted bottom ensures Boil Buoy stays upright and ready to ring
- Made from 100% food- and heat-safe materials
- Measures 125mm tall by 85mm wide
Even though presale is done, you can still make an order at a low retail price of $14.99 in the Quirky store. We’ll shoot you an email when we’re ready to ship.

Congrats Ryan! This would be a nice compliment for the hard boiled egg product in development.

super excited for this. i wasn’t a quirky member when it was in development but it’s one of the products that i’ve been anxious for its production. i find myself distracted when boiling water for oatmeal and half the time i return to an empty pot burning on the stove. DOH!
