Yep, I prefer a proper foldable probe and it’s extremely versatile around the kitchen.
The “fingers to the ball of your thumb” to check doneness of a steak is bullshit, most of the time. It only really works on steak that has a consistent grain throughout, sometimes. (Just showed this to my daughter on a reverse seared NY Strip that felt completely different across the cut.)
I bought a used thermopro off eBay (used because they’re crazy expensive) and it was game changing. I use it for everything from meat to checking the water temperature for making tea.
