Lavatools (Sesame) - Javelin PRO Duo Ambidextrous Backlit Professional Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Kitchen, Food Cooking, Grill, BBQ, Smoker, Candy, Home Brewing, Coffee, and Oil Deep...

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 review a lot of instant read thermometers. As you likely know, the Thermopen is the gold standard for accuracy and speed. See my photo to see the Javelin Pro up against the Thermopen and two less expensive brands. Do I like the Javelin just as well? The answer is: Almost. Read on for a more detailed comparison. I’m an avid BBQ guy and an admitted barbeque junkie. I’ve done very detailed tests on several brands, including the holy grail--the Thermapen. How well does this “Javelin” compete? Very well indeed. SPEED: The Javelin is not quite as fast, but faster than the other brands pictured. In real world use, the small speed advantage of the Thermapen, including the newest MK4, does not matter. ACCURACY? The Javelin Pro is right on. No wories FEATURES AND RELIABILITY: The battery is readily available, inexpensive and easy to change. This is my second Javelin Pro and I have had zero reliability issues. Both of my Thermapens have run into issues over time requiring service at a fee of $30. Its numbers are nice and big like Thermapen and its backlight is super helpful when needed. WHAT ABOUT CONS? One of the Javelin’s touted features is annoying to me. The ability to rotate sometimes means the numbers rotate direction when I don’t want them to. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED: If money is no object, I prefer the Thermapen by a hair. But for half the price, the Javelin Pro does not disappoint. I highly recommend it, especially in Chipotle or Orange. If you are not sure if you want to pony up nearly $50 for the Javelin Pro, you can find other very nice instant read thermometers as low as about $13. The less expensive ones are not quite as quick, typically have slightly smaller numbers, and shorter warranties, but still do an admirable job.

Accurate, fast, and easy to read! No calibration needed, works out-of-the-box, and is very easy to handle. It has good quality of life design aspects, and you can easily switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit by double tapping the Touch button (the pro Duo has small switches in the battery compartment instead). The high quality japanese sensor is said to barely drift at all, at a max rate of 0.02 degrees Celsius (or 0.036 F) per year! This tool could last a lifetime with good care. I shall report back in the future and see if everything holds, there's a 3 year warranty... But I bought this with the hope that it will last me much longer than that.

Fonctionne comme prévu, prend la température rapidement en 1 a 2 secondes, aucun soucis

I decided to splash out on a meat thermometer that was a cut above the cheapies from the supermarket. No regrets , accurate, fast response and seems durable,well made .
