ABSTRACT:
An indicator is disclosed for providing an indication that a food item has attained a desired temperature. The indicator includes an organic retainer that maintains a plunger in a retracted position until the material from which the retainer is constructed yields. When the retainer yields, a spring urges the plunger toward an extended position to indicate that the food item has attained the desired temperature.
