Lavatools PT12 Javelin Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer (Sesame)

Ya tengo con el más de 2 años y sigue funcionando igual, y solo le he cambiado una vez la pila.

I've had 3 of these food probes now as they're really good quality. Fast and reliable temperature readings. Ideal for BBQing. Would recommend.

It's very sensitive to small changes in temperature. Very useful! It's also very compact.

Very useful little tool. No issues so far 1 month into usage. Magnet is useful too!

This is THE BEST probe thermometer I have ever owned for the price and I've been through about 6 different probes in the past 4 years.Pros:First off "NSF APPROVED!" for those who work in commercial kitchens.The color selection is a nice touch but as most may not know these thermometers are actually color coded for commercial kitchens so if all colors were purchased you have almost no risk of cross contamination due to the thermometers. The design is compact yet solid without making the unit too heavy (1.8oz) for a uniform/shirt pocket or the display too small to read.I love the clip and magnet as well so you can clip it to a retractable lanyard if you're working in a commercial kitchen or just clean and stick to the side of your fridge when using at home.Last but not least this device has a battery saver that shuts the thermometer off after 60 minutes if the probe is left open and is rated for 4000+ hours of use.Cons:I'm being a bit picky with these but there are a few things I would change for instance the battery.WHY would they use a CR2032 battery as opposed to a AAA is beyond me. I guess you could argue added weight but a AAA battery would have been fine! If anyone at Lavatools reads this and a javelin 2 is in the works PLEASE give us a better battery option so that a rechargable battery can be used!Which leads me to the auto off timer that shuts the unit off after 60 minutes. I feel like this should be 5 minutes or 15 minutes max. This is an instant read probe! You aren't leaving this in food for 60 minutes and if you plan to you should be buying a probe thermometer with a cable that allows you to set timers and temp alarms.Also giving the probe full range of rotation rather than stopping at 180° would be nice but not absolutely necessary so you can accuse me of being picky with this one.Lastly the unit selector switch which is under the battery is such a PITA to get to if you ever need it. Again another design decision that makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. I guess you could make the argument that the device is more durable without any extra moving parts on the exterior but if feel that's a bit of a stretch.Overall I think this is a great thermometer vs its competitors at a good price point for the average consumer and commercial kitchen staff alike. I personally would like to see a javelin pro mini with an updated battery in the works but in the meantime I'm happy with this as I'm sure most of you will be too.TL;DRPros:NSF ApprovedColor selection/color codedSmall and light weightClip ring and magnet for storageAuto off timer to save battery4,000+ hours of battery lifeCon's:CR2032 batteryBattery saver shut off time too long at 60 minutesLimited probe positioningTemp unit selector switch requires removal of battery
