Introduction 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.
