The present invention relates to a thermotropic liquid crystal glass in a crystal or quartz shell for indicating a temperature of a food item and thereby preventing individuals from consuming food at undesirable temperatures or accidentally touching or consuming items that are too hot or too cold. The glass shell includes a plurality of thermotropic liquid crystals that absorbs heat from food items and changes color to exhibit at least one of violet blue, blue, green, yellow/amber, brown, gray, and black color. The hot food causes crystals to change to violet blue and alternatively, when exposed to cold food, the crystals turn black. In some embodiments, kitchenware can be integrated with the glass shell or alternatively, can be detachably attached to the kitchenware. In exemplary embodiments, the glass shell can be positioned onto dishware (i.e., plates, bowls, cups, and mugs) and metal utensils (i.e., forks, spoons, and knives).
