This really works - great!
This fat separator is the latest thing. It separates the fat by releasing the clear liquid from the bottom. I've tried all the ones that look like some kooky watering can. You know, they have the pour spout at the bottom and since the fat rises, you just tip and pour the clear liquid out - they don't work - trust me. You end up with a real mess as the more you tip the container, the more the fat seeps into the pour spout -- goodbye lo-fat liquid. THIS separator operates by releasing the liquid from the bottom of the container, so the fat stays at the top and you can make your gravy or au jus, and it isn't floating in a sea of fatty liquid. Very easy to operate - just fill the container through the built-in sieve, let it sit for a couple of minutes and depress the handle while holding the cup over a bowl or pan to collect the juices. When the fat layer gets near the bottom, let go of the button.
Additional info: The separator came with a vegetable peeler as a bonus! Nice!! I made a beef pot roast in my slow cooker and poured the cooking liquid through the separator. The next day, right out of the fridge, there was NO FAT LAYER!! sitting on top of the cooled liquid. Amazing!! I've never seen anything like this - the cooled liquid didn't that have the sheet of cooled fat sitting on top. Now the broth is ready to be used for making French Onion soup. YUM.
And the seller is AWESOME! Arrived on schedule. The only seller I know of who sent a satisfaction email to make sure I was happy with my purchase and if I wasn't, how could they make it right. Pretty impressive. Thank you!!
