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

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

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.

Good product arrived promptly

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

Very reliable and speedy excellent for checking chickens and other meats etc

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

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.

After receiving it, I was excited to start using my Lavatools thermometer only to find it was defective. It had some functionality but the most important feature of reading and displaying an accurate temperature on the screen was not working. I followed the instructions listed in the troubleshooting guide but was unsuccessful. So I reached out to Lavatools and they responded immediately offering to send a brand new replacement which arrived very shortly thereafter. I am happy to report this thermometer works beautifully! It’s super easy to use, accurate, and lightning fast with the results displayed on a large screen. I also like the magnetic feature that allows me to stick it onto my refrigerator or the side of my microwave keeping it at the ready and preventing it from getting lost in the clutter of one of my drawers. Lavatools is on another level in customer service. I’m so thankful I did not have to call and wait on hold listening to a recording of how my call is important to them over and over while waiting to speak to a real person. Instead of telling me that, they demonstrated it in the way they responded and resolved my issue. I would happily recommend their products to family and friends.

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!

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.

Tired of over or undercooking meat, I caved and got this thermometer despite the higher than average price. On Day 1 it saved my steaks from being overcooked. When it first arrived, I had to look up instructions on how to change it from Fahrenheit to Celsius. Turns out it is one of the flip switches in the battery compartment. This also meant you have to take out the battery to access it. After that, using the manual, find the corresponding switch to flip, put back the battery and lid and you’re done. This is first thermometer I’ve gotten in this price range, but thanks to its quick read function and sensor being at the end of the probe, it saved a lot of my steaks from being under or overcooked. In my opinion, this purchase will likely pay for itself in terms of accuracy and speed.
