  • Can Lavatools Javelin PRO compete with Thermoworks at half the price?
Color: Sambal
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. ... show more

  • Unparalleled support
Color: Maize
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. ... show more

  • Love this -- solved my problems
Color: Sambal
I spent a little extra to buy this thermometer because of the good reviews and I am very glad I did. It gives fast, easy-to-read, and (I think) accurate results. I was dubious about the probe shape since you have to hold it to use it, i.e., you can't set it down. But it responds so fast and the think probe makes it so useful to put sideways into, say, a burger, that I am now sold on it. Not only does this probe let me check the internal temperature of meat accurately, but it has also helped me with some other tricky temperature problems. I had be having a problem when making one recipe that called for heating an egg mixture on the stovetop to 160 degrees. For safety you don't want undercooked eggs, but overcook that mixture by a couple of degrees and your egg mixture becomes in-the-pot scrambled eggs! A candy thermometer that attached to the pot didn't work because there wasn't enough volume to get the sensor under the surface of the mixture. This little probe, though a bit tricky to hold while simultaneously stirring the mixture and tilting the pot to make it deep enough to read, gave me the the temperature fast enough to get the recipe right. I do have one quibble. I basically only use the HOLD feature, which is to find a consistent temperature of something and report it. Sometimes the display changes to MAX or MIN (maybe, can't remember). At this point, I don't know how to clear that feature and go back to HOLD. (There is a CLEAR that sometimes appears, but I don't know how to bring this up or confirm that I want it.) I keep getting stuck with MAX and then am not confident that I'm getting a true temperature. So I wish this part of the control was more intuitive. ... show more

  • Reasonable Price for a Helpful Kitchen Tool
Color: Crimson
Every kitchen should have one of these thermometers. This one is very reasonably priced, arrived quickly after the order was placed, and was highly recommended by New York Times Wirecutter. It is reassuring to know that animal protein is fully cooked without taking guesses.

  • Used to be great. But display quality degraded dramatically . Edit: Seems to be a temporary issue
Color: Maize
I purchased my first Javalin Pro almost a year ago and absolutely loved it. The temperature reading settled down in less than 2 seconds, it was easy to use, and the backlit display was perfect for my use case. I recently purchased another one as a gift, but the display quality had degraded dramatically. As you can see in the attached photos, there were a lot of phantom lines on the display. I returned it and bought another one with the same issue. I am disappointed that the quality has dropped so much, as I considered this to be a great meat thermometer for its price. Edit: Turns out the issues disappeared after a few days and it hasn't returned. Changing my review to 5 stars as it works flawlessly since then ... show more

  • FAST & FEATURE PACKED
Color: Sambal
I normally don't leave reviews unless a product is terrible or seriously misrepresented. This thermometer impressed me enough that I felt I should. In my first real-world test, it went from 171.6°F soup to 67.8°F room-temperature water and then back into the soup, and locked onto each temperature almost instantly. I was especially impressed with how quickly it shed the previous reading and responded to the new temperature. At roughly $44, I am very satisfied so far. ... show more
