The Testo 270 cooking oil tester features a precise measuring range of 104° to 392 °F (which corresponds to +40 to +200 °C). This specific range is crucial for effectively monitoring the quality and temperature of cooking oil, ensuring optimal frying results and food safety.
Understanding the Testo 270's Measurement Capabilities
The Testo 270 is a specialized instrument designed to measure temperature and Total Polar Material (TPM) in deep-frying oil, helping businesses maintain high food quality standards and optimize oil consumption. Its robust design and user-friendly interface make it a valuable tool in professional kitchens.
Key specifications for the Testo 270 include:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Measuring range | 104° to 392 °F / +40 to +200 °C |
| Accuracy | ±2.7 °F / ±1.5 °C |
| Resolution | 0.1 °F / 0.1 °C |
This range is specifically tailored for the typical operating temperatures of deep fryers, allowing users to accurately assess when cooking oil needs to be changed, thereby preventing the use of degraded oil that can negatively impact food taste and texture. The high accuracy and resolution ensure reliable readings, which are essential for consistent quality control.
