A thermometer is 100% necessary for many recipes if you want to make them the best they can be. There are many factors that can affect temperature especially when cooking at home.
Its funny seeing retards on here pretending you don't need one which just shows you that they don't know what they are talking about.
Some recipes call for sugar or water at a certain temp. Meats need to be checked with a thermometer because ovens and timings are not accurate and can fluctuate easily. If you cook blind your final product might turn out great sometimes, but you will never be as consistent as when you use a probe thermometer.
If you are serious about cooking you will have multiple good thermometers for different purposes. You need an instant read and a probe style for sure. Infrared not super necessary.

It is a brazen act of chauvinism to even pretend you’re half as good as a thermometer T. Bestunitasker

how does it even help people that have never cooked meat?
oven temp matters more than internal meat temp.
you can put a chicken in an oven that's too hot and ruin it way before the thermometer comes up to an acceptable temp.
common sense and visual cues help the most, for perfecting the line between under/perfect/over the thermometer is important.

it was out here on long island that got hit more so than the city during that storm the water rose above the fire hydrants and was rushing down the street like a river, houses were blowing up because of broken gas lines, rescue teams had to use aquatic vehicles to evacuate people from what used to be a suburb but was now venice water took almost 3 days to recede and we were without power for over 2 weeks during a particularly cold november gasoline was like gold as people tried to power generators to stay warm
honestly it's probably what people in russia feel like every day
I made a fuck ton of money during all that. I was charging people $400 to rip out their water damaged floors. was able to hit 2-3 houses a day and scrap all the metal I was taking out. I made about 40 grand in a month
