Ultra Fast & Accurate, High-Performing Digital Food/Meat Thermometer - Lavatools Javelin/Thermowand (Indigo)

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.

Nice bit of kit for the kitchen. Super fast read thermometer and incredibly accurate. Great for baking and testing meat. The magnetic back is great to stick to the fridge or oven.

I've had this meat thermometer for awhile now and I just love it! It has large easy to read digital numbers (LCD) that activates as soon as you swing open the probe from the unit handle ..the probe is tucked in like the blade of a pocket knife and turns on instantly as soon as it's unfolded from the handle which also has a strong magnet built into the back of the unit (very convenient) I stick it to the side of the refrigerator and it's ready to go in seconds ..love it! You can't beat that ..it's no cheapy ...it's real good quality and money well spent! The digital read out turns off as soon as the probe is tucked back in it's folded position. No messin' around with on/off buttons ...a real pleasure to use!

Good size and it works beautifully!

I’m so glad I bought this meat thermometer. And not just because it has a cool name… JAVELIN! It really gives me peace of mind when cooking meat, particularly chicken and turkey which I’m always concerned about cooking thoroughly. As well as using it for checking the progress of roast meats in the oven, I have also found it excellent for cooking steaks to perfection on a George Foreman grill. Similarly, it’s great for checking individual items on the barbeque or in the air fryer. The fact that you can not only check that meat is properly cooked through but that it is also done to your preference, is great. You can avoid drying out your roast dinner out by judicious use of the Javelin. If I’m in doubt I just check the “cooked” temperatures of various items on the internet but I also keep them listed in a notebook for quick reference. Obviously this isn’t as sophisticated as a meat probe such as Meater which comes with its own app (that does work very well with joints of meat) but it is quite sufficient for stabbing into various smaller items and getting a pretty quick internal temperature reading. The confidence that this device has given me (as I generally like to avoid poisoning people!) is brilliant. The thermometer is activated by folding out the probe and you can turn it off by folding it back in. It has an easy-to-read display, is easily wiped clean after use, can measure temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, comes in a variety of colours, can attach magnetically to the fridge and has a really long battery life. The price is really good considering how much of a game-changer this has been for me in the kitchen.
