For casual cooks, the speed and accuracy of a thermocouple thermometer aren't such a big deal. 'Good enough' is good enough as long as the price and performance line up.
Instant-read thermometers are the kind you poke into your meat from time to time to see if it's done. They're great for things like steaks and seafood.
The other kind is a leave-in thermometer, which is heatproof and stays in from start to finish. Most leave-in thermometers now have a probe connected to a digital display.
Venigo Digital Meat and Food Thermometer comes in under $10, accurate to within a degree Fahrenheit, with a strong response time and a convenient magnetic back.
