What Is TPM in Cooking Oil?

Total Polar Materials (TPM) are compounds that develop in cooking oil as it undergoes repeated heating and exposure to food, oxygen, and moisture. Monitoring TPM provides a measurable way to assess frying oil degradation instead of relying only on visual appearance or smell.

Why Choose the Testo 270 BT?

The Testo 270 BT combines TPM measurement, temperature measurement, Bluetooth connectivity, digital documentation, color-coded alerts, custom limits, and self-calibration in one portable instrument. Its IP65-rated housing and ergonomic design make it suitable for regular use in professional kitchen environments.
