capacities. Have a smart bobber type device which sits in water. When the water boils, it would send off a signal to a smart device.

Wouldn't it be better just to make it loudly beep? And how do you plan on fishing it out?

Beep loudly would work, but is tech at the stage. Could speakers handle the heat?

A thermometer. :|

It is a pain waiting for the water to boil when cooking.

What's the point of this thing when kettles already come with a whistle?

What plastic are you thinking about using? Plastics tend to have very poor thermal conductivity properties.

Most plastics are toxic, and can leech in water, especially when it's hot. Also, boiling water is hot enough to kill most electronics.

Time is a funny thing. There is always too much of it, except when you need it the most. Then there is never enough.

A digital thermometer can already do that m8. Clip it on, set desired temp & it beeps.

You can even get bluetooth thermometers.

But yeah, plastics tend not to do well at high temperatures and with extreme temperature changes.
