What happens to cooking oil after it's been heated?

  Image Source: https://www.testo.com/en-IN/ When cooking oil is heated it will start separating before bubbling, and at extreme heat, levels will give out smoke. But they won’t undergo any chemical change until you drop food items in it for deep frying or sautéing etc. When you deep fry food, it is basically a dehydration process. The water & water-soluble substances get extracted from the food and transferred to the cooking oil. Cooking oils undergo chemical changes including oxidation of the fatty acids, polymerization of the fatty acids, and breaking apart of the triglyceride molecules into free fatty acids and glycerol by hydrolysis, which will further increase with cooking time and temperature and are accelerated by the presence of food. Various degradation substances are produced in the oil due to these actions called total polar materials(TPM). Repetitive heating contaminates the oil and harms your health adversely. You should use a digital cooking oil tester to check

What are the latest smart devices?

Leading brands like Testo are introducing some of the coolest and most advanced smart devices in the market to ease the measuring solutions with much more precision and quality.  Two of my favorites would be the Luxmeters light measurement device and Vane anemometers. Did you ever think of a device that would actually measure the illuminance , or brightness in simple terms?  Luxmeter is such a device. It measures the light intensity in the unit lux with the help of a light sensor. These meters are equipped with internal memory or data loggers to record and store the readings. This device has reduced the stress on the safety concerns at critical places like hospitals, schools, production areas, and laboratories. Any fluctuations in the illuminance can be detected with the help of this device. Another one is a vane anemometer which is nothing but the classic wind speed meter that is used to measure airspeed, volume flow, and temperature, both outdoors and indoors. This device has made
