The invention provides a temperature-sensitive indicator comprising a capsule filled with a heat-sensitive material, which temperature-sensitive indicator is not influenced in use by the temperature of a finger and can realize easy breaking of the capsule. The temperature-sensitive indicator comprises a base (2) and a recess part (2a) provided on the base (2). A capsule (3) filled with a heat-sensitive material, an absorbing member (4) mounted on the upper part of the capsule, and pressing means (6) formed of a transparent heat insulating material disposed on the upper part of the absorbing member are received within the recess part. A cover (7) is provided so as to cover at least the capsule and the absorbing member. The capsule (3) is broken by pressing the capsule (3) by the pressing means (6).
