What to do when the pop up timer on the turkey did not pop up?

Answer 1

When turkey cooking, for safety and doneness the internal temperature, as registered on a meat thermometer, must reach a minimum of 165 degrees, though most cooks will prefer up to 180 F degrees in the thigh. The center of the stuffing should reach 165 F degrees in the cavity, and the center of the breast is done at 165 to 170 degrees.

There are several ways to determine if the Thanksgiving turkey or chirsitmas turkey is cooked through, but the turkey pop up timer is the cheapest and effective one.

As a suggestion, you can use two 165 F or 170 F degree timers for one turkey cooking. That means, insert two timers at two different thickest part of turkey to ensure not to overcook.

If only one pop up timer and it did not pop up, then you'd better to use a normal meat thermometer to check it again.

Answer 2

A good rule of thumb is that the bird takes about 20 minutes per pound of bird. So if you have a 20 pound bird, it will take about 6 hours for the bird to be done. The internal temperature of the bird should be 1650 when done, so 5 hours is not unusual.

Answer 3

Pop up timer, also named disposable cooking thermometer, it normally has four parts:

1. The outer case;

2. The little stick that pops up;

3. A spring;

4. The internal thermosensitive organic material.

The thermosensitive organic material is solid at room temperature and it holds down the little stick. When these thermosensitive material turns to a liquid(melts) at about predetermined 185 degrees Fahrenheit (85 degrees Celsius), it frees the end of the stick that had been trapped in the thermosensitive material. The spring pops the stick up and you know the turkey is done!

Of course, for different size turkey, we can select to use different predetermined temperature disposable cooking thermometers, and it is also same for beef, pork and chicken, etc.

So, when we are cooking a turkey with pop up timer, if the temperature around the pop up timer's tip reached the predetermined temperature, the stick would pop up, and that means the turkey is done,
