3M 7000147070 Details

This 3M standard range fryer oil test strip kit is a great way to measure the shortening breakdown in your fryer. Delivering accurate FFA concentration ratings from 2 to 7 percent, these test strips help save money by preventing premature dumping of fryer oil. Of course, it's also important not to overuse your fryer oil, as that can result in poor food quality. This kit takes all the guesswork out of deciding when to change your oil so you can get the most out of your supply while maintaining consistent products.

To test your fryer oil, use tongs to hold the test strip by the long white end, and dip the test strip into hot oil so all of the blue bands are submerged. Hold the test strip in the oil for 1-2 seconds, then remove it and wait 15 seconds. Next, hold the strip to the light, compare it to the included evaluation guide, and follow the recommendations.

To ensure proper functionality, these test strips should not be stored in humid conditions or in an area where they may be exposed to water or oil before use.

These 3m test strips work for testing if your oil is still good and lets you know when you need to change it out. Only 3 stars because the expiry date was only about 6 month after I received them.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry you did not prefer this product. If you have any questions, please contact our Customer Solutions team.

Stop wasting oil! Many people chuck fryers on a certain day of the week or on a rotating schedule and can often waste oil before it actually needs to be replaced.

Test strips work but we went through them pretty quick. We have a lot of fryers. Used them up and then decided to buy eye dropper oil test kit.

Thought this would revolutionize the fry oil judging process. But actually your senses work better. The fryer oil needs to be changed according to the taste of the food, not the readiness of the oil.

These strips have saved us thousands of dollars by now. After getting these strips we have extended how long we use our oil without worry that it will compromise our products, I can't believe how many vats of oil we have disposed of prematurely just because we weren't sure and didn't want to risk it. I am very happy I tried these on a whim.

These strips help us to test the oil and see when to change it. Because sometimes the oil is darker but it still good for use.

The 3M frying oil test strips are great for testing our fryer oil. The strips are well priced and super easy to use and read the results. A nice product to have on hand if you do a lot of deep frying.

I can't imagine not having these. It makes it really simple to determine when to change your oil, just trying to eyeball it will never work, and cost you money in the long run. 5 seconds in the hot oil, then 20-30 seconds for the reading. Easy peasy.

These test strips have saved us a lot of time and money - we were either paying for more expensive chemical testing to monitor our oil quality, or we were changing our oil too often. The colors are easy to interpret using the included chart. You still need to use good practices like filtration and topping up, but the test strips help eliminate guesswork.

We recently purchased these items to test the oil in our deep fryer, it comes with a very handy display chart that you can compare your test strip to so you will know the condition of your oil. Save money buy these test strips!

Well it does its job. We use the full miroil system and the strips say our oil is never bad. Which you would think is a good thing. I thank I must have high standards for oil I'm not sure. There are times when I don't think the grease is very good but the strip says it is. This could have something to do with the fact that we only have fryer so all foods are cooked in the same grease instead of just potatoes. That could make a difference.

Fryers should be filtered and cleaned often but tend to be forgotten! This pack of test strips will atleast allow you to control the oil!

This item is a must have in the food/health safety conscious world we live in today. Health conscious folks know the importance of avoiding the dangerous breakdown in fryer oil molecules. These same folks will occasionally indulge in fried food if you can make it a selling point that your fryer oil is periodically tested. Tough industry, you need every advantage you can get!
