Fry Oil Test Kit

For many years Recto Molded Products has manufactured and sold a fry oil test kit that is used to monitor the quality of commercial cooking oil. This kit includes the necessary tools to take a sample of frying oil, using a glass dropper, and comparing the sample against the color of the rods to help the user determine the oil’s quality.

Customers can choose the shade of amber rod that will be assembled into each kit based on the type of frying oil being used and the type of food being cooked. Typically, the kit comes with a rod that represents an acceptable shade of oil and a rod colored rod that represents oil needing change. Once a sample is taken, the dropper can be placed between the two rods for a quick and easy visual comparison.

The amber-colored rods are identified by number, typically in whole numbers from 1-7, with #1 being the lightest and #7 being the darkest. Fractional shades are also available if one of the standard colors does not match your oil conditions. The kit itself can be ordered with any combination of up to four colored rods. If only a single rod is needed, the dropper and color rod are spaced evenly apart to balance the kit’s appearance.

The blank cross-pieces of the kit housings may be pad printed with company logos, images, text, or other distinguishing features to individualize the kit to a company or restaurant chain. Each kit comes packaged individually, with an instruction label printed in English, with a Spanish label available if desired. This label may also be customized to include graphics, logos, and specific or multilingual instructions.
