Hanna HI981035 Foodcare Sushi pH Tester

The Hanna HI981035 Foodcare Sushi pH Tester is a waterproof, portable digital pH meter specifically designed for pH measurement in sushi rice and cooked rice products. With a built-in food-grade electrode tailored for sticky, semi-solid foods, this tester helps ensure optimal rice acidity, a critical factor in sushi preparation and food safety compliance.

Features

• Specialized for Sushi Rice pH Measurement
  The built-in electrode is crafted for direct insertion into rice samples, providing accurate readings in a mixture of starch, vinegar, and salt. As a result, it’s the perfect tool for professional sushi kitchens and food inspectors.

• High Resolution and Accuracy
  The tester offers a 0.01 pH resolution and an accuracy of ±0.05 pH at 25°C, delivering lab-grade precision in a portable format. Therefore, sushi chefs can fine-tune rice seasoning for taste and safety with confidence.

• Automatic One- or Two-Point Calibration
  Calibration is fast and simple, using standard buffer solutions at pH 4.01, 7.01, or 10.01. Moreover, automatic calibration ensures consistent accuracy across multiple testing sessions.

• Waterproof and Easy to Sanitize
  The tester is IP67-rated waterproof, making it suitable for busy kitchen environments where moisture and handling are constant. Consequently, it’s easy to wipe down and maintain hygiene standards between tests.

• Energy Efficient with Smart Auto-Off
  Powered by a CR2032 lithium-ion battery, the device delivers up to 1,000 hours of use. In addition, users can set an auto-off timer for 8 minutes, 60 minutes, or disable it for uninterrupted testing.

• Lightweight and Kitchen-Friendly Design
  Weighing only 52 g, the slim, ergonomic design fits easily in a chef’s jacket pocket or kitchen drawer. Thus, it’s always within reach when preparing rice for service.
