Testo 270 Cooking Oil Tester

The cooking oil tester testo 270 easily, quickly and reliably
determines the quality of cooking oil.

To do so, it measures
the so-called „Total Polar Material“ (TPM) content in the
oil and gives it as a percentage.'

If the oil is aged, it shows
an increased TPM value.

As a result, qualitatively inferior
deep-fried goods are produced. In addition to this, it can
contain potentially health-damaging substances. Regular
measurement with the testo 270 can prevent this.

The use of the measuring instrument also prevents too early
replacement of the cooking oil. That reduces the cooking oil
consumption by up to 20%.
The new testo 270 stands out thanks to its ergonomic
design, which prevents the direct exposure of the hand
to the hot oil.

The clear alarm via the coloured backlit
display makes it even easier to evaluate the quality of the
cooking oil: Green means the TPM content is OK. Orange:
TPM value is borderline. Red: TPM value exceeded.

The TPM limit values can also be individually defined, and can,
like other instrument configurations, be protected from
inadvertent alteration by a PIN.
