OXO Good Grips Good Gravy 4-Cup Fat Separator

We purchased this item specifically for Thanksgiving dinner to address the gravy issue with the drippings. In fact, we ordered it the day before and Amazon delivered overnight, which saved the day. The OXO can handle up to 4 cups, which is more than adequate in most instances, and has a perforated tray that catches the odd bits and pieces that you don't want in the liquid. The plastic container is food safe, high quality and won't break or crack should you accidentally drop it. Once the liquid is in the container, you wait a few minutes for the liquid to separate, squeeze the handle to release the gravy drippings, and it drains through a small rubber opening in the bottom. Release the squeeze handle when you get to the desired level, and all you are left with is the residual oil/fat in the OXO container to be disposed of. A clean, efficient, no mess approach that is levels better than the syphon tubes, basing tubes or other fat separators at much higher cost. The OXO is also dishwasher safe, but we prefer to hand wash to make sure all of the parts get cleaned thoroughly. It reassembles in three parts and stores upright in your cabinet or drawer. I would highly recommend this product, and couldn't really find anything negative to point out.

This is a great product. I wouldn't get another brand, even if free, because the last thing any of us needs is a bunch of sticky, greasy meat juices all over our fridge & foods in the fridge, right? We need something that works and is reliable, and this Oxo fat separator is that product. I use mine to get all the scrapings and juices when cooking sous vide style. Cooking in that way, there are yummy bits and stuff that I don't want to filter out. But every bit of fat renders from my meats. This separator is excellent for that. I let the juices cool off in the fridge in the separator, then remove all that mow solidified fat off the top of the separator. You might want to filter the bits from the juices, so you would use that filter topper that comes with the separator. But what I find impressive is that I keep all those big and small bits in the juices, and this separator still stays sealed in the bottom spout! Usually, like with my previous separator, those bits would clog the spout on the bottom, resulting in a nightmare in my fridge or all over my counters and floor. I wash this Oxo item on the top shelf of my dishwasher. Because of it having a nice base on the bottom, and because it seals so well, when you dishwasher it upside down you'll end up with some soapy water collected on the underside, same as if you washed a glass right side up (which you'd never do, lol). That's not an issue at all! Just rinse the underside out at your sink and let dry upright. Easy peasy! I highly recommend this oxo fat separator with no reservations. It is a perfect item and essential for any sort of cooking. Don't eat all that excess fat, just let this item do it's job for you! :) And if you make gravy from pan juices, this will be your new BFF!!! Really not exaggerating. Try it and you'll see what I mean!

Easy to us and clean. Probable the best design out there.

Works great and east to clean. Really wish they made one that was this great but in glass.

The OXO Good Grips 4‑Cup Fat Separator is sturdy, lightweight, and easy to handle. The 4‑cup size is perfect for gravies and sauces, the bottom-drain works well, and the non-slip handle makes pouring safe and simple. Dishwasher-safe and reliable for everyday use!

Great fat separator. Easy to use.

This is perfect for separating fat from broth. So much better than my old stye. I was very pleased the first time I used it. There was one little quirk when I first tested it. The drain tube would not open. I had to use a round kabobs stick down the top to open it. I think this happened due to non use. I have had no problems since. Love it.

very good does its work perfectly!

It works like a charm - it is a huge improvement to fat separators with a spout.

Aún no la he usado, pero el producto es de excelente calidad, OXO nunca decepciona. Compré este producto porque lo vi en un video de YouTube donde la persona usaba este separador en particular, entonces decidí buscarlo aquí y lo compré. Nunca puedes tener demasiados productos de cocina, en especial si son útiles, de buena calidad que te van a facilitar el trabajo.

The design of the separator is clever, with a spout that allows you to pour off the gravy while leaving the fat behind. The handle is comfortable to hold and easy to pour. Clean up is easy, just pop it in the dishwasher. We have used it several times and it works really well. It makes separating the fat from the gravy so much easier and faster. It is made of clear plastic, so you can see the level of fat in the separator. I expect this will last us a very long time. Recommended.

Does as it should.

Super Teil...trennt wirklich gut bei Soße und diverse andere Sachen! Man kann ihn gut im Geschirrspüler reinigen muss halt händisch nochmals den Abtrenngummi nach reinigen!!
