PCE Instruments PCE-FOT 10 Food thermometer with 3-digit LCD display, polar compound measurement range from 0.5 to 40 percent
(Incl. Tax: €289.81)
The PCE Instruments PCE-FOT 10 is a food thermometer featuring a three-digit LCD display. It is designed to measure the concentration of polar compounds in food, with a measurement range from 0.5% to 40%. This device is ideal for ensuring food safety and quality by accurately monitoring ingredient levels. Its user-friendly interface allows for easy readability and operation, making it suitable for both professional and home use in culinary applications.
The PCE-FOT 10 thermometer is a professional tool for frying oil quality control, combining temperature measurement (up to +200°C) and polar compounds (PC) analysis (0.5-40% range) in a single device. The immersion probe delivers instant results: within seconds, the large 3-digit LCD display shows both temperature in °C and PC percentage, a key parameter for assessing oil thermal and oxidative degradation.

| Evaluation of the results on the cooking oil tester PCE-FOT 10 |
|
| Oil is new and fresh (LED flashes green) | 0 - 18.5% |
| Oil is in critical range (LED flashes yellow). It is recommended to replace or partially renew the oil. | 19 - 24% |
| The oil in the fryer has been used up. The set limit (factory setting 24%) is exceeded and the LED flashes red. Therefore, an exchange of the oil must be made. | > 24% |
The innovative three-color LED system (red/yellow/blue) visually indicates oil status according to DGF standards, with the 24% threshold as quality reference. IP65 protection and rugged construction make it resistant to splashes and impacts, ideal for professional kitchens.
Featuring 10 calibration profiles (4 preset for different consistencies and 6 customizable), it adapts to various oil types. The auto-off function preserves battery, while internal memory stores measurements for continuous monitoring. An essential tool to ensure food quality, comply with hygiene regulations and optimize frying processes in gastronomy and industry.
