Reduce your costs and ensure fried food quality

It may not look it at first glance, but frying is a complex and dynamic process. Cooking oil, as it fries foods, breaks down because of interactions between the oil, food, heat, and oxygen in the air. By-products, or total polar materials (TPM) are produced, the most common index of oil abuse(1). TPM is the generic term for free fatty acids (FFA), monoglycerides, diglycerides, and a number of oxidation products (aldehydes or ketones) found in cooking oil as it breaks down.

The model 270 measures all these by-products in %TPM, from 0 to 40% TPM. Many companies use 24% TPM as a maximum limit. You can even measure the quality of your stored or make-up oil, or to check when different oil blends are used.

Because cooking/frying oil is a significant part of your food cost, changing it too frequently can be like throwing your money away. In today’s fast-paced and competitive environment, you need to make every drop count. But not changing your oil often enough can cause poor food quality and lower customer satisfication. So use the testo 270 to be sure.

1. Unique sensor design

The heart of the 270 is its sensor design embedded in a rugged housing. A special protective layer makes it easy to clean and resistant to handling and scratches.

2. Temperature-compensated sensor

Enables both sequential measurements of fryers without cool down between measurements and calibration at room temperature.

3. Analyzed reference oil

The oil is included with every kit and provides an accurate, repeatable means of periodically checking the instrument performance.
