Thermoworks One Instant Read thermometer if you don't already have a good one.

It's life changing.

Pro tip, cook chicken breast to 150 internal, not 165, and never eat dry chicken again.

I usually pull at 160. But you got me curious and yes, it seems that you can still pull at 150 and it is safe to eat if baking a whole bird.

Thanks for sharing.

You can do it for chicken breasts as well.

They merely have to be held at 150 for 2.7 minutes, which happens during carryover cooking.

I used to have a thermopop, the Thermanpen One gives you a final reading much faster, and I believe it's more accurate but don't have empirical evidence on that.

I just sealed 5, six-cup bags of homemade chicken stock last night in minutes. That's not possible with the cheap vac sealers.

Also, if you sous vide, the chamber vac gets ALL of the air out so they don't float.

I have the Avid Armor USV32 and it can handle 10 inch wide bags, not sure what the cheap vac sealers can do width wise.

I would say that instead of getting something you don't have, upgrade something you do have

Because if you don't have it now you're probably not going to get much use out of it after you have it IMO
