Using 3M Oil Test Strips

Oil Quality Verification

3M Oil Test Strips are a reliable independant 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 Strips Chart

Dip a new 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.
