I use the Cooper-Atkins 24HP-01-1 Stainless Steel Bi-Metal Oven
Thermometer, 100 to 600 Degrees F Temperature Range which I see is
available from Amazon for U$9.15. I also have one of their Freezer/
Dry Storage thermometers. Both worthy investments. And rugged/durable.

Well, yeah. A six hole muffin pan is the perfect size for a single person.
You micht have to tailor your recipes though. Most requirre a 12 holeer.

Here's one I maker that's already sized for a six-holer:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Jowl Bacon Muffins
Categories: Breads, Pork, Dairy
     Yield: 6 Muffins

 1 1/2 c  A-P flour
   1/2 c  Coarse cornmeal
     2 tb Brown sugar
     2 ts Baking powder
   1/4 ts Baking soda
   1/2 ts Salt
     1 lg Egg
   3/4 c  Half & Half
   1/4 c  Plain yoghurt
   1/3 c  Butter; melted
   1/4 c  Fine grated mild cheddar
   1/2 c  Pork jowl bacon; 1/4" dice
          Confectioner's sugar
          Maple syrup

 Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC. Cook the smoked pork jowl in a
 heavy skillet over a medium heat. When it's crispy but
 still chewy remove it from the pan and drain on a paper
 towel.

 Sift the flour, corn meal, baking powder, baking soda,
 and salt together. Add the sugar to the butter and stir
 to dissolve. Add the egg, half and half, yogurt, and
 cheddar to the butter mixture. Stir to combine. Fold
 wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

 Add the pork jowl and mix lightly. Spoon into muffin
 cups and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until a
 knife inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

 Meanwhile, mix up a glaze with confectioner's sugar
 and maple syrup and once the muffins are warm but
 not hot, drizzle the glaze on the tops of the muffins.

 UDD NOTE: You can leave the glaze off and serve these
 as an accompaniment to a meal. Since I do not care for
 maple syrup I make a honey glaze if using a glaze.
