Testo 270 - Cooking Oil Tester

Significantly reduces costs

Extensive practical tests by Testo engineers have demonstrated that regular measurement with the testo 270 reduces the consumption of cooking oil by up to 20%. Therefore it's not just productivity that will be improved with the testo 270, but also costs can be significantly reduuced.

Even more intuitive thanks to traffic-light system

The measuring instrument's 86% larger display considerably simplifies the reading of temperature and TPM values. The traffic-light alarm system provided by multi-colour backlighting makes it even easier to evaluate the quality of the cooking oil:

Safety in daily use

Safety in daily use

The user is no longer directly exposed to the heat from the deep-fryer when taking the measurement. Thanks to its ergonomic design, the new testo 270 does not require the users hand to get within 25cm of the liquid being measured, thus minimising risk of injury by hot oil.

The strength of the probe shaft has been considerably improved over the previous model. In addition to this, the new cooking oil tester has more robust connections between the housing, the probe shaft and the sensor. Since the measuring instrument fulfils the protection class IP65 even without an additional protective case, cleaning it under running water is no problem – ideal for use in quick-service restaurants.
