Review on 🌡️ Lavatools PT12 Javelin Digital Instant Read Meat Thermometer – Kitchen, Food Cooking, Grill, BBQ, Smoker, Candy, Home Brewing, Coffee, Oil Deep Frying by Tiffany Williams

Died after 10 months.

This is the best of many meat thermometers we have. Exactly as advertised - fast and accurate. UPDATE: Stops working after 10 months. Blank screen when opening. The new battery didn't change anything. Playing with the battery resulted in a reading of -58 degrees, which disappeared after closing and reopening. Used about 10 times just for fried chicken. Never abused. Never wet. Nothing like sticking it in a chicken. After reading other reviews I see that there is no point in messing with Lavatools. I will definitely not buy anything from them again. The one star review said they could get the device working by tapping on the battery. After a few tries this worked. Now I've stuffed a stack of paper over the battery and now it reads the correct temperature. For future use, I expect to have to open the battery and play with it every time. This makes my other standard thermometers my first choice.
