I like the dot thing.! :-)
Had other (Taylor) cable/probe thermometers but found that the cables usually fail within a year or 2 ..and pricey replacement probes :-(
I use the same as Darienne, Canadian Tire/Mastercraft laser unit(s) for deep frying, hot pans, etc. and another oddball laser for the BBQ pizza stone over 500F
Use the Mastercraft laser for daily cooking... my go-to unit!
Just got an analog/dial oven thermometer for the (terrible) oven, clipped onto a rack
A couple cheap (Amazon) digital instant reads, analog instant read NSF and a vintage floating glass dairy thermometer (ornament) :-)
Tech? Fluke meter and Flir - they don't like super high temps.
Old monster analog pyrometer for 2,000F+ (kilns)
Lots of K thermocouple wire..make my own when the kiln TCs burn out.
Plethora of glass mercury/alcohol lab units.
Yes, way too many (geek?) thermometers! ;-)
