Determining When to Change Your Fry Oil: Before and After Frylow

Getting Accurate Results on Extending Oil Life with Oil Test Strips

Did you change the oil a day early? A day late? How do you know for sure?

Without data, you are just guessing, and that guesswork conservatively costs your kitchen over $1,000 a year.

Oil Test Strips replace the uncertainty with accurate verification, ensuring you never throw away usable oil again.

After installing Frylow, use your oil test strips to verify your frying oil’s improved longevity and confidently set a new, extended change schedule.

Using Oil Test Strips

Oil Test Strips, such as those produced by 3M®, are a reliable independent verification of the quality of your cooking oil. The 3M® Strips measure the FFA or free fatty acids of the vegetable oil. 3M® Oil Test Strips are provided with every Frylow Trial.

For financial and quality of fried product factors, cooking oil must be changed at the appropriate time. Fryer oil quality must be determined by the taste, consistency, and color of the food served. Your customer rely on this.

Since Frylow doubles fryer oil life with lower cooking times and temperatures, the use of the 3M® strips provides an accurate, independant, and scientific approach to judging fryer oil quality.

3M® Oil Test Strip Chart

A chart showing how to measure oil quality for 3M® Oil Test Strips.

Dip a new oil test strip into the cooking oil so that all four of the blue bands are fully submerged in the oil for 5-seconds and then remove.

Within 30-seconds, one or more of the bands will change color, indicating the degree of breakdown of the cooking oil.

The strips have four colored bands which progressively change from blue to yellow as the oil deteriorates.
