Kind of like the microwave oven in that after you own one you can't do without it.
Shown in the images below are this amazing tool at work telling me the temperature of something real hot, and something that has to stay between 80 and 90 degrees American.
The tool is called a CENT-TECH Non contact laser thermometor, item 91778 (there's enough keywords to find a similar product for about $30)
Highly recommended as it has other uses besides surface temperatures. I've used it to find a hot extension cord running at 115 degrees at the plug in a 50 degree closet (an almost guaranteed fire).
Wanna know the temperature of the plant, and not the air in the vicinity of the plant. Point the red dot right where you want it.
