Lavatools Javelin® Ultra-Fast 3-Second Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer for Grill and Cooking, 2.75" Probe, Compact Foldable Design, Large Display, IP65 Water Resistant, NSF Certified – Maize

Works really well for making sourdough. Sturdy, accurate, easy to use and the numbers are easy to read, even without my reading glasses!

I've been using this for a couple years now next to its big brother, the Javelin Pro. This Javelin is nice and compact, but still has all of the best features of the Pro. The probe is well protected when folded and is extremely easy to use since it turns on and is ready as soon as you unfold it. The temperature reading updates very quickly and is very precise. The battery lasts nearly forever too; I haven't needed to replace the battery for two years with reasonably frequent use. I've tried other thermometers and I can recommend you buy a Lavatools if you value a quality, durable tool. This one has even seen a few flames from open fire pit barbecues without any sign of damage. It will last you a long time and it is well worth the money.

The Lavatools PT12 Javelin Ultra Fast Thermometer is one of those tools we use constantly. We rely on it all the time to check temperatures on chicken, pork, and steaks on the grill, and it’s been consistently accurate and fast. Readings come up almost instantly, which makes cooking easier and helps avoid overcooking. The design is simple and practical. It folds up for easy storage, is easy to clean, and the display is bright, clear and easy to read. Battery life has been excellent — we’ve been using it regularly without needing frequent replacements. Reliable, accurate, and a good value. If you cook or grill often, this is a solid thermometer that just works.

This thermometer is incredibly accurate and shows the temperature almost instantly, which has made grilling much easier. I love the compact, foldable design—it's super easy to store and the built-in magnet is a great bonus for keeping it on the fridge. It feels durable and high-quality. Definitely a must-have for any home cook!

Well designed, easy to use meat cooking thermometer. Performs as advertised. We eat late frequently, cooking on the grill at night outside and I didn't realize the display does not light up. It was also preset for Celsius degrees, so I had to take it all apart to flip the switch under the battery to Fahrenheit. It would be nice to preset it to Fahrenheit for the US market. My minor criticisms aside, this thermometer features great design, and performance at a very good "value" price.

Instant temperature readings, simple to use, and easy to clean. The built-in magnet is a great touch — I store it on the side of my fridge, so it’s always within reach and never cluttering a drawer. Solid, reliable, and well designed.

I didn’t expect much from something so small — but this thermometer totally surprised me. It’s compact enough to stash in a kitchen drawer, yet powerful enough to give a super-fast, accurate temp reading in about three seconds. No more guessing whether the chicken or burger is done. It heats up fast, the display is easy to read, and the probe feels solid and reliable. For the price? It’s almost a steal — you get professional-level performance without dropping big money. It’s one of those kitchen tools that feels like it belongs in any home cook’s toolbox, not just a pro’s arsenal. If you want an accurate, fast, affordable thermometer that doesn’t take up space, this one knocks it out of the park.
