This is an excellent digital thermometer and a good alternative to the pricier Thermopen. Backlit display is handy in the dark and the embedded magnet allows you to leave on a fridge or any nearby stainless steel surface.
My main complaint is that when closed the tip snaps into a plastic clip. While this is great for safety and storage, it means that I need to clean the tip before closing unless I want the crevices to get greasy. I take multiple measurements while cooking so this becomes inconvenient. Instead I just partially close it while cooking. Also it takes a little bit more time then the Thermopen to get an accurate measurement.
However these issues are minor and I wouldn't let them keep you from buying the Javelin Pro. Highly recommended!!
Edit:
After using this for a bit more time I decided to append my review. The Javelin Pro comes to temperature far too slowly. I recently cooked some tri-tips and what I thought was medium-rare ended up being well done. The features are very good, but it's meaningless if I don't get accurate temperature in a reasonable amount of time. I am going to test this further, but I believe that I have to readjust to 10 degrees above what the temperature display says.
Use either a probe thermometer with constant contact or save up for a thermopen.
