For Thanksgiving Turkey, Pop Up Timer Is A Key Ingredient

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — This week, the thoughts of many Americans turn to preparing their holiday turkey dinner. According to the National Turkey Federation, nearly 88 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving, making safe turkey preparation one of the most important aspects of America's holiday meals.

Every year, tens of millions of consumers rely on disposable cooking indicators like the Pop Up® from Volk Enterprises to help prepare their holiday turkey. Yet what many Americans fail to realize is that not all disposable cooking indicators are the same.

"Our company has been providing consumers around the world with accurate temperature indicators for over 30 years," said Ed Gustafson, President of Volk Enterprises, Inc. "When consumers see the trademarked Pop Up® from Volk Enterprises, they can trust that their guests will have a delicious, safely-cooked turkey."

Accurate to within (+) or (-) 2 degrees Fahrenheit, the Pop Up® is the most accurate disposable temperature indicator of its kind and is the easiest way for consumers to properly gauge safe endpoint temperatures.

"I always look for a Pop Up® Disposable Cooking Thermometer when preparing turkeys for clients and my own family," said chef and recipe developer Susan Lalich. "I can rest assured that the bird will be thoroughly cooked yet moist and delicious every single time."

This year, when seeking a reliable temperature indicator for turkey preparation, consumers should look for the Pop Up® trademark on the top of the device to know that it is a Volk Enterprises product. Additionally, the Pop Up® is available in beef and pork roasts, hams, turkey breasts, whole roasting chickens and lamb for a perfectly cooked meal, no matter what is on the menu.
