OXO Good Grips Fat Separator - 500 ml

Product Information

A silicone plug keeps the drain sealed and leak-free. Owners of this model praise it for being comfortable and easy to use: simply wait for the fat to separate and then squeeze the trigger built into the handle of the cup to drain your cooking liquid away from the fat. The handle has a soft, non-slip coating to help you grip and prevent dropping if your hands happen to be a little greasy from carving a turkey or roast. Once the lid is removed, you can unstopper the spout. As you pull the plug out, you’ll notice that the juice travels partway up the spout. This is nothing to worry about. Once you’ve poured your drippings in, you again need to wait a minute or two for the fat to separate from the juices. Cooking is as much an art as it is science. Fat doesn’t mix well with oils and juices. Over time, fat will naturally rise to the top of your gravy, leaving the tasty juices at the bottom. While you can certainly skim the fat off the top, it’s a tedious method. Fat separators do all the hard work for you. Once the two have separated, simply pour from the bottom spout (or release the bottom plug) and you’ll serve delicious gravy while the fat stays at the top.

When it’s not being used for separating fat, you can use this as a standard measuring cup, for heating water in the microwave, or perhaps even for making tea. This is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.

A delicious gravy is an essential part of any Sunday lunch, and the OXO Good Grips Fat Separator Jug lets you make the most of all those rich roasting pan juices, separating off the fat to make it much healthier and tastier. Firstly, the spout originates from the lower portion of the jug instead of the top. This is because the fat rises to the top of the jug as it’s lighter than the juices.

Zone C Ideal for making healthier, tastier gravies, soups and sauces, this cleverly designed jug makes it easier to separate out the best cooking juices from the fat. Simply pop in the stopper in the spout, then pour your hot pan juices into the heat-resistant jug through the removable strainer lid – the strainer catches unwanted bits, so if you’ve added a bay leaf, stalks of rosemary or cloves of garlic to add extra flavour, you won’t have to fiddle around with fishing them out, while the stopper makes sure no fat gets poured into the jug through the spout.If the hole isn’t plugged up, you’re going to end up with drippings all over your countertop, fat and all! Mixing can sometimes happen with spout separators because tilting the jug can agitate the juices and fats and recombine them. Whilst we make every effort to ensure our items are competitively priced there may be occasions where a competitor might be cheaper and we as a small family business want to make every effort to provide you with a positive shopping experience which is why if we can we will try our best to match their price.

You only need to wait for a minute or two. You’ll know when the jug is ready to use because you’ll have a layer of fat that usually looks more transparent than the juices. When you’re ready to pour, remove the strainer lid. If you leave it in, it may fall out during the pour. Also, any bits of meat or seasoning caught in the strainer will end up tipping into your bowl or pan. Fat separators are designed to do the hard work for you, but it's essential to choose a fat separator made from quality material that is easy to use and clean. Most fat separators are made of plastic, but some are made of glass or stainless steel, which some cooks may prefer for their durability and high heat tolerance. We considered fat separators that feature a pour spout and stopper that keeps the fat from traveling upward as well as those that offer a bottom-release feature that drains your liquid at the push of a button. We found the OXO Good Grips 4-Cup Fat Separator to be the best overall. This easy-to-use bottom-draining fat separator has a convenient pour spout and is dishwasher-safe. With a large, 1 litre capacity, and markings on the side, this smart jug has an easy-grip handle and is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean up when you’re finished. The removable strainer lid even has a convenient little holder to keep the stopper safe when it’s not in use. You’ll also want to make sure that the handle is strong and comfortable. Look for a separator that has a rubberized handle for ultimate grip and comfort.

Ask yourself what you’re going to be using your fat separator for. If you’re cooking for just a few people, you can get by with a smaller fat separator–one that maybe holds two cups. For large gatherings, however, you may require a bigger container. Four cups is a popular size, though fat separators can go upwards of eight cups. A fat separatorwill have a high wall facing the spout. This stops any fat from pouring over the top. As with a spouted separator, you need to make sure that the strainer lid is in place before you pour any drippings into the jug. You also need to make sure that the plug in the bottom of the jug is firmly in place.
