Electronic PH tester

Anyone tried one of these for titrating oil? Seems like it would be quick to check oil anywhere, quickly and consistently.

Re: Electronic PH tester

How would that work when oil has no PH?

Re: Electronic PH tester

pure vegetable oil has no PH, but once you introduce animal fats and starches it does.

Re: Electronic PH tester

Even if it does work you have to remember these things are kinda fragile. You get oil on them and they don't like it much. I got oil on mine and now it's pretty funky and hardly seems to work right anymore.
