Review on 🌡️ Lavatools PT18 Professional Backlit Digital Meat Thermometer – 4.5" Ambidextrous design for Kitchen, Food Cooking, Grill, BBQ, Smoker, Candy, Home Brewing & Oil Deep Frying – Commercial-grade by Crystal Lawson

This is my first Lavatools product and I am very satisfied. I really need an instant read thermometer that is both instant and accurate. And since we wash everything, it has to be waterproof (so I needed a new one and the old one didn't). I use it on the grill, smoker and in the kitchen. What I like is that the touch part of the tip is on the tip and not 1cm above it. And the transducer is LONG and VERY thin and has markings so you get the same depth with every measurement. It takes less than 5 seconds to read, usually 3. I calibrated it both hot and cold and it was less than 0.3 degrees. You can calibrate it if necessary. I LOVE this clinical thermometer. I've been using it for many months now and it still works reliably. I prefer this style to the clap style which is likely to fail sooner. What I don't like is that its functions are confusing. I had to go back to the manual to figure out how to turn it off! Be careful, you can easily go into calibration mode if you're not careful. Remember the instructions and keep them handy - you will need them. I think you should know that I don't use that for major meats, I use the MEATER system which I think is better in every way. Besides fillet, I use this one. That works great.
