Reading at least 100 degrees Celsius (200 degrees Fahrenheit) from

The first picture measured 138 degrees Celsius? but actual temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, with a much better AND more accurate instant read thermometer (which I recommend). Tempered milk is in an ice bucket and is no hotter than boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius. The reading at 138°C is anything but normal. The second image shows a room temperature of 256 degrees Fahrenheit at the probe tip, but the actual room temperature is 72 degrees Fahrenheit. This sensor and this device is a new…

Pros
  • Special offer
Cons
  • Some small things

I've used this a few times and love that it records both food temperature and ambient oven temperature. There are four temperature settings: high and low for food and high and low for ambient temperature. Exceeding or falling below these temperatures leads to an alarm. The temperature setting takes a little getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I usually just set one temperature (the temperature I want the food to reach) and leave the other three blank.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Nothing here

Product Improvement Suggestions

Not a bad product but some upgrades would really help. The ambient temperature sensor lags behind the actual ambient temperature (sluggish response to temperature changes). Ambient temperature is ALWAYS 5-15 degrees lower than actual ambient temperature. very poor instructions for setting timers etc. Note: when smoking meat, ambient temperature is critical. A great upgrade would be a remote feature like the Thermo Pro TP-075 or similar remote food thermometer. Note: All temperatures were…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Minor issues

The probe works great and has many settings to get the job done.

This works well for what I need, which is controlling the incubation of my yogurt, both high in the cook phase and low in the chill phase. I'm not sure about the environmental sensor. During the cooling phase, the sensor is in the hot milk and the ambient sensor is outside the container (which is closed), all in the fridge. The sensor is accurate as the milk exits the first phase at 180 degrees and the sensor confirms this, but during the cooling phase the ambient temperature sensor reports the

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Long delivery

Good concept, terrible product support and quality.

I have Lavatools Javelin Pro Duo Instant Read and love it so I decided to grab a few items. They worked fine for about a week, then the probe failed on the first. However, he did not die secretly, only his readings became 10-20 degrees lower than those of his companion. I contacted support in March, they were supposed to send a return envelope, then COVID closed everything and our communication ended there. I certainly can't fault them for not responding during that time, although they still…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Easy maintainability
