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.
