Foreword | That Moment She Forgot to Turn Off the Stove, She Almost Lost the Entire Kitchen
—A Intelligent ”little invention” that guards the gentlest and busiest person behind the kitchen.

That day was a Thursday.

Aunt Wang had just started simmering a pot of soup when her grandson came home from school, calling out “Grandma!” as he ran into the house. Aunt Wang hurried out to greet him, thinking it would only take a few minutes. Then the phone rang, and a neighbor came knocking—the pot was forgotten.

More than ten minutes later, the kitchen filled with the smell of burning. The smoke alarm didn’t sound, the fire continued to burn, the bottom of the pot was charred black, and the cloth nearby began to smoke. If her grandson hadn’t called out, “Grandma, it seems like something’s burning,” this small oversight could have led to an irreversible disaster.

Do you think this is just an isolated incident? In fact, such “forgot to turn off the stove” accidents happen every day.

Hot Topic Incident: Forgetting to Turn Off the Stove—It Burned for 27 Days!

Recently, Xinhua News Agency reported a chilling news story: Mr. Ye from Yuhuan, Zhejiang, returned home after 27 days away to find the pot on the stove had long boiled dry, the gas was still burning, and the bottom of the pot had turned white. A single oversight nearly caused an irreparable fire.

Does it seem exaggerated? In fact, such accidents are more common than we think.

“Forgetting to turn off the stove” is never just a simple oversight—it’s an everyday reality in households.

● Elderly people experience memory decline and forget the pot is still cooking.

● Parents juggling childcare are always dealing with the next cry.

● Scrolling through your phone while cooking? A video can make you lose track of time.

●Interruptions like phone calls, answering the door, or going to the bathroom—life is full of distractions.

According to the China Gas Association’s statistics from the first half of 2024, among household gas accidents with identified causes, 28.57% were caused by dry-boiling leading to fires, making it the single largest cause. In our survey of 144 household users, over 60% had experienced emergencies due to forgetting to turn off the stove while cooking, yet nearly half had never even heard of a dry-burning detector. The demand for kitchen safety solutions is real and widespread, but awareness lags far behind.

The kitchen, which should be the warmest place in the home, can become the most dangerous due to a momentary lapse in attention.

The trigger for kitchen fires it’s “those five minutes you stepped away.”

As the stove top temperature continues to rise, the pot boils dry, its coating peels off, and residual food in the pot can ignite in case of flame.

What you thought was “just simmering for a bit” could be the start of a potential fire.

We’re not just making an alarm; we’re protecting homes!

Based on these real user pain points, we’ve created a dry-burning detector that truly meets the needs of households, especially the elderly and families with young children.

● Infrared thermal imaging detects pot temperature, accurately identifying “dry-boiling.”

● 24/7 live monitoring of the flame—activates “tracking mode” as soon as cooking starts.

● Battery-powered, ready to use upon installation—no wiring, no tools, easy setup.

● High-decibel sound and light alerts—you’ll hear it even from the living room or bedroom.

●IP54-rated waterproof and oil-resistant design, suited for greasy and humid Chinese kitchens.

● Compact dimensions: 78×31×32mm, just 66g—a small device with a big role as your kitchen’s safety guard.

An extra layer of protection for your kitchen means an extra layer of peace of mind for your home.

While you’re busy living your life, a “never-forgetting” little guardian is silently watching over your stove.

The ACTION’s Dry-Burning Detector offers practical peace of mind to everyone managing household chores. Developed in collaboration with gas safety factories, this device is part of our comprehensive kitchen safety solutions.

It’s not a standalone device—it’s part of a kitchen safety ecosystem.

The dry-burning detector is more than just an alarm. It can integrate into Action’s smart kitchen system, using Sub-1G communication to connect with gas alarms and smart valve controllers. Once a dry-boil risk is detected, it doesn’t just sound an alarm—it can automatically shut off the gas valve, notify family members remotely via call and SMS, achieving a truly “automatic response.”

Even if you’re not in the kitchen, safety is always online. Even if you’re not home, you don’t have to worry about your parents forgetting to turn off the stove. Ideal for working professionals and for installing in your parents’ home.
