I don't use one but after doing more research it seems like my baked chicken could benefit. Do you use one? Open to any tips and tricks! |

Get a thermopen -- its the gold standard.
Another option would be the Meater wireless thermometer. Then you don't need to keep opening the oven and checking. (Great for grill too). Anyway -- any thermometer is better than no thermometer. It will greatly help to keep from over/under cooking meats, and get steaks to that "perfect" medium-rare, etc... |

Thermopop. Not quite as accurate or quick as the themopen but perfectly fine for most home use. $35. And yes you’d definitely need a thermometer of some sort!
A good run down on the two here. https://kitcheninstincts.com/thermopop-vs-thermapen-is-the-thermapen-really-worth-it/ |

| You must get a thermopen. You won’t understand how you ever cooked without it before. |

Use my Thermopop almost daily. Thermapen is slightly better, but this is perfectly adequate for most home cooking. |

| If you get on the Thermapen email list, they occasionally have good sales on unpopular colors. |

| Thermoworks. It's fast, accurate, and indestructible. I was (and still am) careful to keep ours out of water, despite the claims, but once I found it in the bottom of our sink, submerged overnight under soaking dishes, and it was 100% fine. |

I paid $15 for it about 5 years ago at Walmart. Works great. I have bought a couple others and given them as gifts to friends and family since I like it so much.
I just pulled it out of the kitchen drawer to see what brand it is and it doesn't have a brand stamped on it. |
