You Don't Need Fancy Gadgets to Be a Good Cook
If you're like us, when you started cooking you followed every recipe's directions to the letter. After all, these recipes were tested over and over again, so they must have a reason for wanting a specific temperature or cooking the dish for a certain length of time, and deviating even a little might ruin the whole thing. As we become more experienced cooks, we sometimes relax a little and learn to trust our instincts. However, we may still feel that we have to be as precise as possible.

In fact, depending on your thermometer and timer instead of your senses may be one of the biggest mistakes you make as a cook. Instead, Nosrat recommends using nose, ears and eyes to evaluate food as it's cooking to determine if you're on the right track.
