PCE Instruments PCE-FOT 10 Cooking oil tester 30 - 200 °C Sensor type Immersion probe IP65

The PCE-FOT 10 temperature meter is a measuring device with which you can determine the quality of different types of oil. This oil quality measuring device is also used successfully in food controllers. A measurement is carried out directly in the hot grease. For this purpose, the measuring tip is held directly in a fryer or similar. Thus fast measurement results are guaranteed. The oil temperature in °C 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 load level of a frying oil. A traffic light function is installed on the device itself, so that the oil quality is displayed directly in color. This oil tester is used not only for food inspectors, but also in the catering industry, because a particularly high level of quality is required here. According to the recommendations of the DGF (German Society for Fat Science), 24 percent of polar compounds are considered to be a limit on the fitness of a frying fat... The polar compounds If old fat is used, this generally has many disadvantages. This includes influencing the taste and the associated reduced quality. In addition, strong odor and smoke can occur if the grease is not tested with an oil tester. National regulations regarding maximum PC limit values may have to be observed. Since not all oils behave exactly the same, various calibrations can be stored and called up in the oil quality measuring device.
