Product Description
The most accurate and reliable meat thermometer you’ll ever need, the Javelin PT12 gives you a reading in just 4 to 5 seconds. And just because it’s fast doesn’t mean it isn’t accurate: The Javelin PT12 is accurate to within less than 1 degree Fahrenheit Read More
I own this thermometer, it’s really robust and easy to use. Temps take probably 8 or so seconds to stabilize but it is quite accurate.
I’ve used it to monitor deep frying oil countless times.
Works, but it's a serious down-grade from the more expensive model I purchased earlier (Lavatools Javelin PRO Duo). For instance, while this model is about 2/3ds the size of the Javelin PRO Duo, it lacks the "motion-activated backlight and an ambidextrous design that automatically flips the read out, when used by both righties and lefties." That's a serious inconvenience when working in low light, or trying to probe a bird, roast, or steak from multiple angles or locations, especially while holding tools in your opposite hand (tongs, pot-holder, or a hot pan). It's tough to read in the confines of a dimly lit oven, and nearly useless when grilling outdoors after sundown (no backlighting in the display at all). You can work around these limitations, but why would you want to? Just shell out a few bucks more and opt for the Javelin PRO Duo.
RAES48I have the Thermapen mk4, ThermoPop and the Javelin Pro Duo that was dropped here recently.
(not sure what's the difference between the pro duo and this PT12).
The Thermapen is much faster (by at least 1s) a bit more accurate and also more stable in its readings.
But, the Javelin is the better buy imo. It does everything for half the price.
Actually, I would recommend buying the Javelin + ThermoPop to compliment each other, rather than go for the Thermapen.
"The most accurate and reliable meat thermometer you’ll ever need, the Javelin PT12 gives you a reading in just 4 to 5 seconds."
This statement is inaccurate, numerous reviews (including from Serious Eats) rate this as not bad for the money but it isn't a match for the highest-recommended thermometer of its type, the Thermapen (which this looks like). Marketing text is a load of crap, check reviews of this model before committing to it.

I received mine, not even close to being accurate. There was at least a 10 degree difference between this probe and my go-to probe costing nearly $100. It was so low I'd over cooked my steak if I had followed it.
