Steak/meat thermometer

[SkeeterUK]

Hi all.

Always had a bit of trouble with steaks getting them to have slight redness in middle while lookin nice and cooked on the outside. So was thinking of a meat/steak thermometer.

Had a look on amazon and theres some for a fiver. Are they worth it you reckon or is it not worth it untill a certain price point. I dont want to spend more than a few quid on one tbh.

I mean would this be reasonable to try?

Kitchen Craft Meat Thermometer, Stainless Steel for about 3.99? Is this more for large meats like legs of lamb or roasts or would it be suitable for rump and sirloin steaks etc?

Pointless or not i want one, i know how to cook steaks generally well enough but im after somit for more precision. While i appreciate your post i dont really want any guides as i know em. I just want advice on which thermometer to get for a fiver or less ideally that would be good for medium to medium well done steaks.

Cheers i will have a think about that digi one, i wasnt sure of digi ones as the lcd on them might be total crap and have corrupted displays after awhile while the analogue ones wouldnt.

Yeah i know about the steak 30 mins or so out of fridge first, dont poke or cut etc of if needs are must then do it at the end.

Its mainly to perfect timing and how hot the pan is etc really also after ive used it ill share it around the family so they can try it if they want to. Each pan and cooker is different well the ones i usually see at mine or mums or sisters generally can be sometimes. So thought id try to hone the times better for my specific cooker and pans. Like i said i generally dont need to but i do want to try to get a medium maybe that is done properly so a thermometer could help catch that time with my equipment better.
