What makes the little stick in your turkey timer pop up when the turkey is done?

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