HIC Stainless Steel Boil Alert

the HIC Stainless Steel Boil Alert is the boil alert we reach for when cooks who don't want to hover over a pot waiting for it to boil need a stainless disc that rattles audibly the moment water hits a boil.

Placed in a pot of water, this stainless disc rattles noticeably once the water reaches a rolling boil, giving you an audible signal from another room instead of requiring you to stand and watch the pot. It also helps you catch a boil right as it starts, before a boilover happens.

Here's what makes it work day to day: it's built from stainless steel; function is rattles audibly at boiling point; use is place directly in the pot of water; for cleanup, dishwasher safe.

Specs & details:
- Material: stainless steel
- Function: rattles audibly at boiling point
- Use: place directly in the pot of water
- Care: dishwasher safe

Use it with: a pot of pasta water or anything you're bringing to a boil while doing other prep

We recommend this for cooks who don't want to hover over a pot waiting for it to boil. It's a small purchase, but the right one saves you from bigger headaches at the stove.

Simple accessories like this one are easy to overlook, but the right one saves you cleanup time and protects your cookware investment every time you cook.

We check every accessory against the cookware it's meant to pair with before it goes on our shelves, so what you order is what actually fits your pan or pot at home instead of something close enough that you have to work around.

Hand-selected by our Greenville team for cooks who take their cookware seriously. Available for local pickup at our Buncombe Street shop.
