Appreciation post for my $15 meat thermometer

I was using this old analog dial thermometer for years and just figured my roasts were always a little dry. Picked up a digital instant read one from Target last weekend and realized my oven runs 25 degrees hot. Finally had a perfect chicken breast tonight, juicy and not like shoe leather. Anyone else find out their thermometer was lying to them?

Well sure, but a slightly dry roast never killed anyone.

Dry chicken is a crime against poultry.
