Mix in one of those laser thermometers and have the thing beep at you when your food is between center of the sun hot and dark side of pluto cold.
You can get thermometers with the probes on a braided wire for not a lot of money, very nice for leaving the probe in danger without the risk of lithium smoked meats.

Putting them in a bag works, as does putting them between sheets of wax paper.
I have this thermometer from oxo. I like it because the little sleeve for the pointy end has the recommended safe cooking temperatures printed on it. Any thermometer will work, but I think digital ones are a little easier to read. You want to stick the thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the meat, and be sure it's not touching any part of the pot or bone. When it reads 165, you're done!
It's worth stating here that 165 is completely cooked. Don't go over that thinking that you're being extra safe. You should be allowing your chicken to rest for a few minutes after it's done cooking, and it will continue to rise a few degrees as it rests. If you overcook it, it will be quite dry.
Good luck!
Kyocera CSN-202-RD Adjustable Mandoline Slicer, Red $22 Maybe with a pair of cut resistant gloves, those run around $8-$15. You could use the Ove-glove for that as well. It's heat resistant to 540 degrees, I use them all the time as cut resistant gloves.
Maverick Redi-Check Pro LCD Food Probe Thermometer On clearance for $13
Polder Dual Probe Cooking Thermometer $24.48 I like these because the silicone probes are heat resistant which means they can go inside the oven. I can have one alert me with the roast hits 130 while the other on is in the stock. Very handy.
There are a lot of places having sales on pressure cookers right now. Sears has Presto models for around $35 for a 6 or 8qt, I can't remember. I am fallign in love with pressure cookers right now. They cook dishes in 1/3 the time and are ideal for any sort of wet cooked dish. Soups, stews, roasts, corned beef, stocks, curries, ribs.
I have a couple basic floating glass thermometers for my wort and mash temp readings, and an IR thermometer that I use to check my fermentation and ambient temps.
I also really want to get a Thermapen because they're great for readings of liquids.
I use a standard stovetop kettle. Since I always use the same amount of water for my pour cone, I measured the temperature a few times with one of these and determined how long it took to cool from a boil to around 200°F. (About 90s for the amount of water I use in my particular kettle.) Now I just pull it off the heat once it whistles, wait 90s, then pour.
It does not appear to come with a clip.
Here's a review from 2016 when it was sold under their Crofton brand: https://www.aldireviewer.com/crofton-digital-meat-thermometer/
It appears to be identical to this Brannan Digital Cooking Probe Thermometer which lists its Temperature Range as 0 to +300°C (32 to 572°F).
Likely equivalents on Alibaba/Aliexpress also list the temperature range as 0°C~300°C(-32°F~572°F).
It was sold on amazon as the LUX LP1001 Digital Cooking Thermometer at one time and there are eight reviews dating from 2010 to 2013.
A PSC-350? Bundled with a temp guage and $40? I got mine for $50, with nothing but an awesome slow cooker. Now I'm all jealous and shit, except that my probe is this
Nigga you forgot all the profanity and shit! seriously though, id like to make this and i have a novice question. Im guessing to check the temp i need a candy thermometer?
I echo /u/rexscientiarum. At certain times of the year and day I will have to move myself on the river to have any chance of catching fish because the temperatures change so drastically from day to day and even within the day. I'll see it go up 10 degrees with the fish turning off consistently at the same temperature. Once it gets warm I have to move below waterfalls or stay in very well shaded pocket water. This advice is entirely dependent on your situation.
If you're in a highly variable environment like me then a pocket infrared thermometer will be invaluable to staying on top of the data

The thermometer you're using appears to be this one: http://www.amazon.com/Polder-Swivel-Head-Instant%252dRead-Thermometer/dp/B000S12DW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370468353&sr=8-1&keywords=polder+swivel
Can you confirm? I have another Polder thermometer and the probe is too wide to fit through the lid holes of my Bonavita kettle...
Can you handle $9.15 for a beverage thermometer that conveniently (if accidentally) red-marks the green tea zone? I like this one, it clips to the side of my little cooling pitcher http://www.amazon.com/IRB220-F-6-5-ProAccurate-Insta-Read-Beverage-Thermometer/dp/B000E8DM5S/ref=sr_1_6?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1375412725&sr=1-6&keywords=tea+thermometer
A stainless steel milk frothing thermometer will work. They tend not to be battery powered. Something like this..

I know it's not much help at the moment, what with your financial situation (shit sucks man), but this is a pretty decent all purpose kitchen thermometer. I've had more expensive ones and had them break on me, and I've not noticed this one performing any worse. And they're cheap enough that you don't need to worry if they do break.
I have the kitchenaid version of this, and it has seemed to work fine for 3 years and probably 30 AG batches. I have no experience with this model though. Does ThermoWorks make a wired probe model like this? I have a thermopen, but it doesn't really duplicate the functionality of these devices at all, and I don't find it all that useful for brewing, honestly.
I use an infrared (I think) thermometer like this https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Alltemp-Select-Infrared-Thermometer/dp/B005XUS0JK/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1O1EJLO8XH8HO&keywords=wine+thermometers&qid=1565892363&s=gateway&sprefix=wine+therm%2Cundefined%2C212&sr=8-3
I think it works very well, especially for the money (however, if you just put the bottle in the freezer/ice bucket/etc. the glass may be a bit colder than the wine).
Having a wine fridge that keeps your bottles at or near a good drinking temp helps. The 15 or so minute rule (already posted here) is pretty good, but it depends on how cold your fridge it and where you put the bottle. It works better when I put the bottle in the back as opposed to the shelf on the door.
Also, unless I'm pretty familiar with a wine (not common at this point), I like to start drinking the bottle at or near the lower end of the recommended temperature and see how it evolves as it warms up a bit.
This is the best, I've got one although I bought directly from eti. It's cheaper because it's now an old model. Way better than the fake brand crap on Amazon - I had two cheap ones fail in three months.
Edit: buy this one because it's direct from the manufacturer and you get the waterproof case free:

I have this brand and have used it for years. it hasn't led me astray yet. I bought this brand because the chef at one of the restaurants I worked at used this brand. they don't sell the one he had. anymore.
