PCE-FOT 10: Cooking Oil Tester
DESCRIPTION
The cooking oil tester is a measuring device with which you can
determine the quality of various types of oil. This cooking oil tester is also
successfully used by food inspectors. A measurement is carried out directly in
hot fat. For this, the measuring tip is held directly in a fryer or the like.
Thus, fast measurement results are guaranteed. The oil temperature in °C / °F
and the oil quality in percent PC (polar compounds) are determined within a few
seconds. The PC value is a measure of the thermal-oxidative stress level of a
frying oil. On the device itself, a traffic light function is installed, so
that the oil quality is displayed directly in color.
This coooking oil tester is not only used by food inspectors, but also
in gastronomy, According to the recommendations of the DGF (German Society for
Fat Science) 24 percent polar components (Polar compounds) are to be regarded
as a limit to the healthiness of a deep-frying fat.

Evaluation of
the results on the cooking oil tester PCE-FOT 10 |
|
|
Oil is new
and fresh (LED flashes green) |
0 ... 18.5% |
|
Oil is in
critical range (LED flashes yellow). It is recommended to replace or
partially renew the oil. |
19 ... 24% |
|
The oil in
the fryer has been used up. The set limit (factory setting 24%) is
exceeded and the LED flashes red. Therefore, an exchange of the oil must
be made. |
