Product Description

It’s time to expect more from your food thermometer. The Lavatools Javelin PRO Duo has been radically designed with an ultra-large 2-inch display with 360° viewing clarity that automatically rotates depending on how the device is held. It's also the first food thermometer that has an intelligent stabilization alert, which notifies you and holds the readout when it has settled. Our product is NSF approved for commercial and professional use. We use high-quality impact-resistant polymers to prevent warping and can survive 4,000+ hours of continuous use on a single battery change. Javelin PRO Duo is the food thermometer to which all other thermometers look up.

Blazing Fast. No Compromises.
Building on the success of the Javelin, our engineers have brought the response time of the Javelin PRO Duo down to a blistering 1-3 seconds by supercharging it with an ultra-sensitive Japanese sensor. With an accuracy of ±0.9°F, its performance is unrivaled.

Industry-Leading Feature Set.
The key to the Javelin PRO Duo experience is its large 2-inch auto-rotating backlit display. We use a state-of-the-art display with a 360° global viewing angle, giving you spectacular clarity no matter how you look at it.
Additionally, Javelin PRO Duo's intelligent stabilization feature makes measuring temperatures even easier. By pressing the touch pad, the Javelin PRO Duo will hold the stabilized temperature and beep to notify you. Peering into the oven and guessing for readings has become a thing of the past.

Class Leading Performance
Performance is everything. The Javelin PRO Duo can achieve a 2-3 second reading with an accuracy of ±0.9°F.
IP65 Splash Resistant
IP65 splash proof construction protects the Javelin PRO Duo from minor spills and kitchen mishaps.
Motion-Sense Backlight
A motion sensor illuminates the backlight with a simple shake, making it operable even with heat-proof gloves on.
Stabilization Alert
Intelligent software calculates when the temperature has stabilized and beeps to alert you.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2025Color: TangerineVerified PurchaseReceived this as a Christmas gift and I really like it. It gives a temp reading fast and it seems accurate, definitely better than anything I had before this. Soon as you unlock the probe from the closed position, it turns on so it works it as position. The screen is lcd but has a button to press that backlights it so you can read it in the dark which is a great feature when grilling at night. It’s got magnets in the handle so I keep it stuck to the side of my microwave so it’s always a fast grab when I need it. I have used it quite often for the two months I’ve had it, and so far and it’s been great. Only time will tell how long it really lasts but I’m not expecting any issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025Color: WasabiVerified PurchasePurchased the green one in October of 2018. Still going strong and I don't think I have even replaced the battery. If I have it has only been once.
Performs quickly, magnet works for my fridge and the side of the grill and the backlight comes in handy. Usuually the autorotate works well, although there are a few times where it might rotate when you would prefer it did not. But I'd rather suffer through those few times and have it, than not.
Has survived several drops to concrete from BBQ grill level and have not had any problems with washing due to there are no mechanical buttons. All around, one of my favorite grilling tools if not my favorite.

The water doesn’t bother it. Never had to replace the battery yet. Works great. Everything you’d expect from a great instant read.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Color: WasabiVerified Purchaseive had a bunch of cheapo thermometers hanging around for a while and i finally decided to buy something that might actually be 'instant-read' and yo the quality difference is real and there. if you've been using the 10 dollar digital thermometers from the big name retail establishments this dude is a step up in functionality and i highly recommend it for the hobbyist baker or cook. it's got a strong magnet, quick response time and easy-to-read screen
- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2023Color: TangerineVerified PurchaseI've used many different thermometers over the years but most of the ones I purchased were on the lower end of the scale as far as thermometers go. This was my first instant read I've purchased but I have used others. I don't see any major difference in how this one works over some the cheaper instant read thermometers I've used. Frankly, I think an accurate basic thermometer is more practical, considering the much lower price point, for most home cooks. But for someone, such as myself, that often cooks at home and uses a thermometer fairly regularly, stepping up to an instant read with a good design makes sense if it's in your budget.
As far as this one goes, I suggest buying it for it's design and features. Otherwise a cheaper instant read will perform similarly. You can find similarly designed thermometers as this one for a lower cost. If I was purchasing again I would likely get one of those or pay more something that is much more durable. Other than durability concerns I'm very happy with it. I just think I could have saved a few bucks and been just as happy with a different thermometer.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021Color: MaizeVerified PurchaseAs a late 20-something on a tight budget, I’ve tried a bunch of less expensive thermometers over the years & at various relatives homes, but finally got frustrated with their shakey accuracy and/or how quickly they break. After this one, I’ll never look back! This is 100% worth the price point. And it rivals the instant thermometers I used in professional sensory testing kitchens in college.
Mine has been working perfectly for almost a year now, and it’s become my go-to housewarming gift for all my friends.
I was a little worried that it was only described as “water-resistant,” since I’m definitely not the neatest cook. But I’ve rinsed the full base of mine under running water at least a few times now (only times it was really sticky!), and can confirm the display didn’t get all water-logged or foggy like i was worried about! Normally, i do just wipe down the probe portion with soapy water.
The only criticism I have is that the magnet isn’t super strong, so it doesn’t stick to my fridge without sliding down when the door is opened. (It would probably stick to a metal grill though). I didn’t take off any starts because I don’t really care about to the magnet, (it was easily fixed by hanging it on a Command hook instead), but just a heads up for those who are really interested in that feature.
Seriously though, if your hesitating between this and a cheaper model, just get this one. You won’t be disappointed and it will last much longer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a bit slow - but does what it should do.
Color: WasabiVerified PurchaseIt 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.
- Away in the HillsReviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Quick to register temperature
Color: SambalVerified PurchaseI've never been comfortable with cooking meals like chicken and turkey so a thermometer was ideal for me to ensure the meat if cooked.
I started with one of the probes with the display at the end. These were tiny and hard to read. When searching for a replacement I saw these and liked the idea of a much larger display and a foldaway probe. It was 3 x times the price of my previous thermometer which still works but I ordered one and when it arrived I wasn't disappointed. It's so much easier to use and registers the temperature so quickly I can see which parts of a turkey aren't thawed or up to temperature as I push the probe in.
I tested it's accuracy using a glass of water with ice in it. As you can see from the photo it registers 0.4°C which is close enough for me.
The thermometer uses a CR2032 coin battery accessed from the back using a coin to open the cover.

- HandsomenessReviewed in Canada on January 28, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Even Better Than the Basic LavaTools Thermometer!
Color: SesameVerified PurchaseI can't say how useful the regular LavaTools PT12 thermometer has been over the past 5-6 years while I've grown as a home cook. The Pro Duo version has improved on everything except for maybe the size-- the unit gets about 30-50% bigger, which may be tough for some folks, but I feel gave me more control and comfort inserting into tougher meats.
It comes in a rainbow of handle colours, but kind of odd only some coloured handles have a blue/white backlight and most others have the orange/red backlight.
Like the original, the magnet on it is very handy for slapping it on your appliance of choice or whatever metal racking you have hanging around.
As someone who cooks a lot of chicken stove-top, both the original and this one have been very helpful. The original PT12 has only failed me once out of maybe 100 times, where I had a chicken breast read appropriately temp for 1 minute and turned out mildly pink in the middle. Probably fine for eating, just wasn't great to present after resting and serving-- Probably just a fluke where I over stabbed the reading.
Overall: Fantastic unit, but you get the same accuracy from the LavaTools PT12 (about 40% less expensive normally), but the Pro Duo has a backlight, can flip the reading readable side up depending on how you probe it and is larger which may be easier to handle for some. Big fan of the magnet for easy storage and access, the colour variety does help if you're storing it on your fridge or appliance by magnet and the readings are very quick and seem accurate-- I've only had juicy chicken!
