I’m researching meat thermometers to buy. My mom has been sick, and I usually cook meals for her at home. Cooking meat has always been a bit of a challenge for me because I want to make sure it’s cooked properly and safe to eat.Recently, someone suggested that I should get a meat thermometer to make things easier and more accurate. I’ve checked out a few options online. Some of them have really good reviews but I’m still not sure which one would actually work best.

Or, cut your meat open and look at it before removing it from the heat source. You don't need a thermometer for chops and steaks and small pieces. Roasts, yes. Chicken and turkey will be obvious because it shouldn't be pink inside, and a whole bird's juice will be running clear and the drumsticks are very loose when wiggled.
"Authorities" now say we can have pork a little pink safely. I can't do that after decades of having no-pink pork drilled into my head.
Beef: people eat it rare all the time and live to tell about it (my son eats it purple - gag!)
Fish: take a fork and see if it flakes and is not translucent, if so it is done.
Using a thermometer means knowing where to put it to get an accurate reading.
I'm still alive after all these years. I've never had food poisoning from my own cooking, ever.
