This fall, Volk Enterprises Inc., maker of the popular Pop Up Disposable Cooking Thermometer, introduces the Cook'd Right Sensor, to be distributed to retail and processing customers. Using patented thermochromic technology, the sensor takes the guesswork out of food safety and eliminates the need for bulky, expensive traditional thermometers.
As a food item approaches the appropriate internal cooking temperature, the user simply inserts the Cook'd Right Sensor into the thickest part of the meat and waits 5-10 seconds. A color change at the tip of the disposable Cook'd Right Sensor indicates when the meat, poultry or fish has reached a specific predetermined temperature, thus indicating doneness. Compatible with a variety of proteins, the sensor may be used with any cooking method, including frying, roasting, grilling or microwaving.
