OXO Good Grips Fat Separator - 500 ml

Product Information

Measurements in US and metric make it easy to see how much liquid you’ve collected, and make this useful all year long as a standard measuring cup. A stopper in the spout keeps liquid from entering the spout as the cup is filled, so very little fat will enter the spout.

Too much fat can give an oily mouthfeel and add unwanted calories to your recipe, plus it solidifies into an unsightly, cloudy layer of fat when chilled. Convenient markings on the side measure up to two cups (500ml) and the jug has a funnel for pouring and a shield to prevent splashing. Over time, fat will naturally rise to the top of your gravy, leaving the tasty juices at the bottom.

OXO Good Grips designs some of the most innovative, easy-to-use, and ergonomic kitchen gadgets on the market so it's no surprise this fat separator takes our top spot. p>

Useful measurement markings (in cups and mls) on the sides and a built-in storage space for the stopper complete the list of helpful features.

Designed to pour from the bottom to separate fat and food from gravy and sauces, the Kitchen Craft graduated gravy jug is ideal for lowering fat, oil and cholesterol intake. The cup is heat resistant up to 400 degrees, which is much higher than the temperature of the roasting juices you’ll be separating. It would, however, be excellent for removing the fat from the top of the turkey soup or other leftover turkey recipes you’ll be making in a few days.Bought for my daughter in law who had been so impressed by mine that she put this on her Christmas list! They mention that it prevents most of the fat from escaping, making it easier to not poor the separated fat when decanting. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. If you’re planning to serve gravies or sauces hot, you’ll want to make sure your fat separator is heat-resistant.

This won’t work with shallow liquids, so you might need to tilt your roasting pan to collect the liquid in the corner so it’s deep enough, or transfer it to another container. There are also bottom-drain fat separators, which use a button to lift a plug at the bottom of the container to serve the gravy, sauce, or juices inside. The jug filters gravy and leaves fat behind with the strainer catching unwanted herbs, bay leaves and vegetables, to create a smooth sauce with all the flavour. We carefully compared the key components of an excellent fat separator, from the quality of the strainer to the ease of use.The jug holds up to 4 cups of liquid, perfect if you have a few guests, a large family or want to make extra. Since different sauces and gravies will have varying levels of viscosity, it can take a longer or shorter amount of time.
