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

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.

The sensor is very good. However, not in daily use and backlight and half of LED bars failed after less than two months use. Of course, just outside the return window.

Great quality

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!

Doet het goed en meet snel

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.

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.
