External Oil Filter

Oil Testing

External oil filters can be used with multiple

fryers, providing versatility if you have different

fryer models or brands in your kitchen. Because

you can use the same filter with multiple fryers,

your overall investment is reduced. However, you

then have another piece of equipment to make

space for, and there is an increased labour factor.

Many restaurants follow a procedure of changing their fryer oil after a certain number of days. While it is

advantageous to have standard operating procedures in place, it may also mean that oil is being changed

when it doesn’t need to be. Consider using an oil tester, such as the BIOS DH136, which measures the

total polar material (TPM) of the oil, indicating whether oil needs to be changed.
