Bought a $40 instant read thermometer after burning yet another chicken breast

I kept guessing if my chicken was done by cutting into it and drying it out. Finally grabbed a Thermapen knockoff on Amazon for 40 bucks. First use I nailed a perfect 165°F thigh without slicing it open. For real, has anyone else had a cheap thermometer change their cooking game or did I just get lucky with this one?

Man I did the same thing with chicken last week, it's such a relief to finally know for sure.

Did you try the thermometer trick? That's what finally saved me.
