OUR STORY
The Boily was originaly born as a separate saucepan for just boiling an egg. My colleague played with this idea for a while and he asked me to help him. It was the perfect idea for boiling an egg without wasting all that precious energy and water. After prototyping it became clear that there were many more opportunities for the product.
That same night I woke up and I had this idea for 'something' in an existing (sauce)pan for boiling the perfect egg(s). The Boily was born! The following morning I tried out the concept AND IT WORKED! That's when the creative part started.
To start production, I tried crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Unfortunately it was unsuccesful, but it also made other things possible. This website is created and a new project is on it's way. Our goal is to produce The Boily in early 2016.

THE BOILY - HOW DOES IT WORK?
This awesome product will make it possible to boil up to 6 eggs at a time with a minimum amount of water and energy.
By inserting the Boily into any pan in your cupboard, you can put your eggs in without them falling and breaking. The eggs will stand firmly in the Boily during boiling.
With no more than 3oz. of water there will be enough to boil your egg(s) in steam. Close your pan with a lid and start boiling. This small amount of water will boil in seconds! That's when you can put your stove at a minimum for the water still to boil. In less than 8 minutes you can enjoy your egg just the way you like it!
THE BOILY-WAY VERSUS TRADITIONAL BOILING
This graphical representation gives a good insight in the benefits the Boily has. One of the most important unique sellingpoints is the small amount of water used when boiling with the Boily.
An other unique selling point is the little amount of energy that is used when boiling with the Boily. You'll only need to put your stove at maximum until the water boils and then you can turn your stove low. Boiling the Boily-way will use less energy than the traditional way.
Not only for boiling an egg
When you're not using the Boily for boiling your egg, you can use it as a heat resistant trivet. It's resistant up to 464°F/240°C and therefore ideal for everyday use on your kitchen table!
From idea to product
It took a lot of evenings and weekends to create this perfect boiling tool, but it was worth it!
