As the world continues to love the taste of deep-fried food, it seems that nothing is safe from the clutches of cooking oil. Manufacturers and restaurants are experimenting with a plethora of ideas including deep-fried chocolate bars, ice-cream and even fruit.
However, although this seems positive for the industry, there are fears with more restaurants and manufacturers using cooking oil in this way that the standards will drop. As cooking oil gets older, the quality decreases – producing a product that smells, is foul to taste and even a health hazard to consumers.
This makes the testo 270 cooking oil tester a vital part of any food manufacturing tool kit. Here are two features to remember:
1) Direct and simple readings
The kitchen environment is notoriously busy, so the abilities of the testo 270 can’t be understated. Using a sensor embedded in metal and break-proof material, the device is capable of being placed directly into hot cooking oil in temperatures between 40 and 200 degrees Celsius to determine quality levels.
The readings are recorded in TPM (Total Polar Material) and the device gives accurate figures each time to ensure cooking oil quality never drops below appropriate standards.
2) Easy to clean and protect
As mentioned above, the kitchen environment can be dirty and protecting your investment is key. However, thanks to the senor protection layer, the device can easily be wiped clean and used again within seconds. For businesses with multiple batches of cooking oil, this is vital.
It is also important to note that the testo 270 comes with an aluminium case, a TopSafe protective cover and a hand strap to ensure the device lasts the long haul.
