Lavatools Javelin® PRO Classic Ultra-Fast 2-Second Professional Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Grill and Cooking, Auto-Rotating Backlit Display, IP65 Water Resistant, NSF Certified – Sambal

Finally a meat thermometer that works!
This is a great meat thermometer! It registers very quickly and accurately as compared to other meet thermometers I’ve used. I love the fact that it can get wet and not stop working. I even took it with me when I traveled for Christmas to make sure the turkey was cooked to the appropriate temperature. I would highly recommend this product.

Long lasting and reliably the best!
By far the most consistent and reliable instant read thermometer I’ve had. Love that its magnetic so it stays put on my vent hood and on the pellet box on my smoker. I’ve had it for 5 years now and it works like new.

Quick & Accurate with a solid build
Javelin Pro Duo ( Black Ink)Initial thoughts after using for our first grilled meal.Un-boxing:The Javelin Pro Duo is packaged very similarly to its high end competitor.instruction book came in handy with clear graphics on all the features & includes good cooking temperature guidelines.I like the orange back-light of the limited edition model compared to the blueish back-light of the other models.Did an initial accuracy test with Ice bath- first in Fahrenheit then toggled the temperature to Celsius , removing the battery cover was quick and easy to remove, just used a coin ( battery is a lithium CR2032 battery.)once battery cover was off without needing to remove battery used a toothpick & toggled the first DIP switch up. to switch to Celsius.Ice bath test was accurate for both imperial & metric.For the real test- used it for a whole roast chicken on the Weber.by the time our chicken was 3/4 of the way done the sun had set and it was perfect setting to test the rotation and backlight of the javelin pro duo. numbers are very clear with the lighting read quickly.Works as advertised & feels solid in the hand.I haven’t messed around with the other features. IMHO it works as advertised & well worth the price.With all the quarantine, we are stuck at home so going to be firing up the grill a lot.I will revisit this after a few months of use.

Grill Master Approved
This thermometer is a game-changer for cooking and grilling. The ultra-fast 2-second read is shockingly accurate, letting me check my meats without losing heat or patience. The auto-rotating backlit display makes it easy to read from any angle, even outdoors in bright sunlight.It’s also built to last—IP65 water resistant and NSF certified, so cleanup is simple, and I know it’s safe for kitchen use. If you want perfectly cooked steaks, chicken, or roasts every time, this thermometer is worth every penny.

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.

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!If this review helped, please click the button below!

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.
