For every fried food, there is a point where overused oil will

compromise the taste and nutritional content of that food.

The testo 270 cooking oil tester easily, quickly and reliably

determines the cooking oil’s temperature and quality,

thereby ensuring the highest quality product is served to

the customer while also creating substantial cost savings

related to oil usage.

Two variables impact the quality of fried food – oil

temperature and Total Polar Material (TPM). Correctly

measuring the temperature and the TPM at regular

frequencies is the most effective method available today to

ensure high quality products are served to your customers.

A TPM reading greater than 24% can create chemical

compounds that can cause adverse nutritional effects

and potential health hazards. Regular measurement with

%TPM

°F / °C

the testo 270 can prevent these possible safety hazards.

Further, data derived from the testo 270 also decreases the

probability of changing oil too soon, thus tossing away a

very expensive commodity prematurely.

The ergonomic design of the testo 270 limits the direct

exposure of the hand to hot oil. The intuitive alarm with the

highly visual, color-coded backlit display makes it easier to

evaluate the quality of the cooking oil: Green means good;

orange is borderline, and red indicates an oil change is

required. The temperature and TPM limits are configured

based on the specific requirements or quality procedures of

the end-user.

The most advanced oil quality instrument on the market, the

testo 270 ensures high quality foods, employee safety, and

cost savings.
