Apparatus for indicating temperature of a liquid inside a bottle

An apparatus for indicating temperature of a liquid inside a bottle, comprising:

• a housing having an upper surface configured to support a bottle;
• a base surface configured to rest on a flat structure;
• a non-contact thermometer, the non-contact thermometer located inside the housing;
• one or more indicators to display or provide an indication of a temperature state of the bottle and the one or more indicators comprises an array of LED lights;
• and
• a processor;
• wherein
• the non-contact thermometer senses temperature of a bottle placed on the upper surface of the housing and sends signals relating to the temperature to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to provide an indication to warn a user if there is an increase in temperature state of the bottle;
• and,
• the array of LED lights will intermittently flash if the temperature of the bottle is increasing as a result of uneven heating or excessive heating, or if the bottle has only just been removed from a heating environment;
• wherein the processor is configured to read a temperature of the bottle over a predetermined period of time;
• wherein the processor calculates an average of the temperature recorded over the predetermined period of time;
• wherein the processor calculates an average temperature over a relatively longer period of time and also calculates an average temperature over a relatively short period of time;
• wherein a warning sequence of lights are displayed to warn the user that the temperature state of the bottle is increasing when the average temperature calculated over the relatively short period of time is greater than the average temperature calculated over the relatively longer period of time.
