what kind of metal is in the bottom of those pop up turkey timers?

Answer 1

Here ya go...
A pop-up timer found in a turkey or chicken normally has four parts:

* The outer case (typically white or light blue)
* The little stick that pops up (typically red)
* A spring
* A blob of soft metal similar to solder

One little-known fact is that these timers are reusable. If you dip the tip in hot water it will re-melt the metal and you can push the pop-up piece back into the metal. Then let it cool, and the pop-up piece will be back in its original position -- ready to use again!...not they are a very accurate timer, for the most part, but interesting, none the less!
Hope that helps!
