Lavatools PX1D Javelin PRO Duo Ultra Fast Professional Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Grill and Cooking, 110cm Probe, Auto-Rotating Backlit Display, Splash Resistant – Maize

It allows you to cook your meal perfectly every time. I got my first one of these a couple of years back, and it's been brilliant, so I'm buying a second to keep outside with the BBQ. It's totally accurate and very fast. It's also simple to use and has a very clear screen.

Good unit. Works. Good value

Works well but not particularly good for left handed use as probe angle only really works one way. Still easy enough to use though., Us lefties are used to it being awkward 🙂

5/5, I use this for checking hot oil temperature and inserting into my steaks. It's fast to read battery life is great, battery is the same watch batteries to change it, quality is great, sturdy but light. Turns on when u open the metal prod then instantly turn off when u close it. Magnet strength is good, not too strong. Can use this instantly out of the box. You don't need a wireless thermometer unless your using huge big cuts of meat within the oven or BBQ or smoker. This can't be used inside the oven. I used this for BBQ, pan, for steaks , works wonders for me

Super quality thermometer

this is an absolute game-changer for any serious cook. The speed and accuracy of the temperature readings are simply incredible. I can confidently cook steaks to perfection, or ensure that my poultry is cooked through without overdoing it, and as I recently bought an air fryer, you have to change all your usual cooking times and this helps enormously The large, backlit display is easy to read, even in a dimly lit kitchen. The foldable design is compact and convenient for storage. Plus, the splash-resistant feature adds durability and peace of mind.

Love this probe use everyday so far never let me down. Good solid item and easy to spot in the kitchen. No bell or whistles, does just what you need!

I've never been comfortable with cooking meals like chicken and turkey so a thermometer was ideal for me to ensure the meat if cooked. I started with one of the probes with the display at the end. These were tiny and hard to read. When searching for a replacement I saw these and liked the idea of a much larger display and a foldaway probe. It was 3 x times the price of my previous thermometer which still works but I ordered one and when it arrived I wasn't disappointed. It's so much easier to use and registers the temperature so quickly I can see which parts of a turkey aren't thawed or up to temperature as I push the probe in. I tested it's accuracy using a glass of water with ice in it. As you can see from the photo it registers 0.4°C which is close enough for me. The thermometer uses a CR2032 coin battery accessed from the back using a coin to open the cover. Positives Quick to register temperature Large, clear backlit display 100mm probe Switches on/off by opening/closing probe Records max/min temperatures Range - 40°C to -250°C Negatives None so far

As a late 20-something on a tight budget, I’ve tried a bunch of less expensive thermometers over the years & at various relatives homes, but finally got frustrated with their shakey accuracy and/or how quickly they break. After this one, I’ll never look back! This is 100% worth the price point. And it rivals the instant thermometers I used in professional sensory testing kitchens in college. Mine has been working perfectly for almost a year now, and it’s become my go-to housewarming gift for all my friends. I was a little worried that it was only described as “water-resistant,” since I’m definitely not the neatest cook. But I’ve rinsed the full base of mine under running water at least a few times now (only times it was really sticky!), and can confirm the display didn’t get all water-logged or foggy like i was worried about! Normally, i do just wipe down the probe portion with soapy water. The only criticism I have is that the magnet isn’t super strong, so it doesn’t stick to my fridge without sliding down when the door is opened. (It would probably stick to a metal grill though). I didn’t take off any starts because I don’t really care about to the magnet, (it was easily fixed by hanging it on a Command hook instead), but just a heads up for those who are really interested in that feature. Seriously though, if your hesitating between this and a cheaper model, just get this one. You won’t be disappointed and it will last much longer!

It works very well - but it is a bit slow. Not super slow - but for this price I rather like to have an instant read thermometer showing me the temperature... instantly. Also: changing it from Fahrenheit to Centigrade is awkward to say the least (in the battery area). Overall nice.

I can't say how useful the regular LavaTools PT12 thermometer has been over the past 5-6 years while I've grown as a home cook. The Pro Duo version has improved on everything except for maybe the size-- the unit gets about 30-50% bigger, which may be tough for some folks, but I feel gave me more control and comfort inserting into tougher meats. It comes in a rainbow of handle colours, but kind of odd only some coloured handles have a blue/white backlight and most others have the orange/red backlight. Like the original, the magnet on it is very handy for slapping it on your appliance of choice or whatever metal racking you have hanging around. As someone who cooks a lot of chicken stove-top, both the original and this one have been very helpful. The original PT12 has only failed me once out of maybe 100 times, where I had a chicken breast read appropriately temp for 1 minute and turned out mildly pink in the middle. Probably fine for eating, just wasn't great to present after resting and serving-- Probably just a fluke where I over stabbed the reading. Overall: Fantastic unit, but you get the same accuracy from the LavaTools PT12 (about 40% less expensive normally), but the Pro Duo has a backlight, can flip the reading readable side up depending on how you probe it and is larger which may be easier to handle for some. Big fan of the magnet for easy storage and access, the colour variety does help if you're storing it on your fridge or appliance by magnet and the readings are very quick and seem accurate-- I've only had juicy chicken!

Doet het goed en meet snel

I'm very happy with the performance of this thermometer, it reads extremely quickly (2 to 4 seconds), is very accurate, it's a good size for adult hands so there is less chance of dropping it, the large display is easy to read & the backlighting is really useful. It isn't cheap though, but this is a high quality device & on top of that you usually get what you pay for, so I'm hoping that this will serve me well for a very long time. One tip to prospective buyers, mine came with a 10% off voucher from Lavatools, so if you're planning on buying more than one, just buy one to begin with & then use the voucher to buy the rest. If I'd known this, I could have saved myself 10% on the thermometer I bought for my son.
