You need to keep a careful eye on how low the fat level is getting. It is liable to fall out of the hole if you’re not watching it. What to Look for in a Fat Separator 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.

These separators will have a switch or button on the handle that opens the plug and allows juices to flow out of the bottom. 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.A strainer is built in the lid to catch solid bits of food and the cup has easy-to-read measurement markings. This separator is dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning. 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. Pour your hot roasting pan juices into the jug and the strainer shield lid will catch any bits of food; as you wait, the fat will separate and rise to the top then – and here’s the clever part – a squeeze of the trigger handle will dispense all the good stuff from the bottom of the jug into a pan below, leaving any fat behind. So you get to make yummy gravy with far less fat, fewer calories and all of the flavour. Winner winner, roast dinner! There are a few different styles of fat separators. A classic version is a simple skimming spoon that collects fat as you run it over the top of the gravy. Modern models have a few different styles as well. The bottom-spout or pitcher fat separator looks a bit like a teapot and pours like one too, though the spout is attached lower to the 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 first kind of separator we will take a look at is a spout separator. Before you think about pouring any drippings into the jug, you need to make sure that the spout is plugged.
