A couple of years ago, while trying to learn how to cook a decent pork chop, I started using a thermometer for cooking meat. It works great. no worries about under cooking and not overdone. I learned that a few degrees makes a huge difference.
I use a thermometer every time now. Pork chops, steaks, burgers, chicken. Get a good thermometer made for the food service industry with a really thin stem. They penetrate easily and take a reading fast.
I like my burgers 155º inside - exactly. Just barely pink inside but not getting tough yet.
