It’s not really a hack I think, but having a good instant probe thermometer really gives you the ability to be consistent no matter what, especially if you’re cooking proteins or have something that’s temperature dependent.
I had started with a cheaper one and eventually graduated to a Thermapen when I realized how critical it was to the things I was making.
I have both. I like that the thermopen actually does read faster and I can see the temp gradient in my meat and find the coolest spot faster. The ergonomics are better. Also, a name brand thermopen, on sale, costs less a kilogram of prime filet.

The cheapest Thermapen brand one is worth 10 generic ones.
