Gravy Fat Separator Strainer 4 Cup

Works great. I like that the top edge has the raised front piece to prevent spillage as I tip out the stock. This one is IDENTICAL to the more expensive separator that I was considering except for one thing: a cork that you put in the tip of the spout before you pour out the stock to prevent the fat from filling the spout part. I used an expandable silicone wine stopper that I already had and it worked GREAT.One note: this item did not get cleaned very well in the dishwasher, so I ended up washing it by in very hot soapy water by hand. I guess the chicken fat really clings to the plastic.

I have used this separator for about a year now. It is big enough for the 12-18 lb birds I cook, but larger birds might need a bigger one for all the drippings. I gave 4 stars because of the size of the holes in the top strainer. This is personal preference. The holes in this one are largish and allow some small bits of fat, skin, or meat to drop into the collector. Of course, these heavier bits will migrate to the bottom and flow out when you are pouring for your gravy.If you don't care about small bits in your gravy, then this is perfect. If you prefer lump free gravy, then maybe look for one with smaller holes. I will add that the larger holes do allow the drippings to flow faster, that can be an issue sometimes with a hot, heavy bird.5 star if you don't mind or prefer the larger holes.

Any grease separator has to have a stopper to keep grease out of spout when separator is being filled. I solved the problem with a plastic capped liquor bottle cork stopper from Paul Masson Brandy. Inside diameter of spout is 23 mm.

I'm not a fan of fat or oils and have been looking for a fat separator for some time. I like to make chicken noodle soup but hated the idea that I had to ingest the fat from the chicken with it. I found this here at Amazon and just had to have it. It works wonderfully at being able to put the broth into and pour it back into the pot. The extra strainer on the top also kept bits of chicken from getting into the broth. This purchase is a definite winner for me. Buy it. You'll not know how you ever cooked without it.

oil comes out the top when using it and everything gets mixed up again. waste of money, try another design!

Bought this a while ago to use for cleaning used cooking oils for soapmaking.I've used it a few times and it has withstood heat pretty well (just boiled liquid), and does the job of separating the fats from water, etc. My only issue is that I wish it was offered in a larger size, as the 4-cup capacity is a little too small for what I currently use it for.Other than that, it works well.

I like to pour the broth from my hot turkey into something so I can separate the grease from the broth and make my gravy. I had a plastic fat separator, and it splintered and almost split open when I poured the hot broth into it. I found this fat separator in December on Amazon and used it for Christmas dinner. It was wonderful! Large enough strainer on top so it didn't spill, and there was no damage from the boiling hot broth. It is no longer available, but I still wanted to write my review. Maybe they will get it again.

I use this to strain my cold-brewed coffer through filters for ice coffee. Works perfectly. Don't know if it will work as well as the Oxo version for separating fat since it lacks the nozzle blocker that the OXO one has.
