 Meat Thermometers are a life hack. Once you see the light, you never go back to timing things or gut feel.

 Its not about your gut feel. its about not turning your steak into a $15 burger

 Meat Thermometer all the way. 

Absolutely perfect poultry and fish on the grill every time and a must for larger roasts. 

I still do steaks using the force, but that’s about it.

 The force is strong in you son but you’ll lose to a thermometer every time.

 No disagreement there. Mine has the magnetized back that slaps right on the fridge or onto the grill. Love it.
