Once you have used this jug for gravy and soup you won’t go back to skimming fat off the top, using a spoon. It has a strainer lid to keep the larger bits out of the juice, is heat-safe to 400 degrees, and microwave and dishwasher-safe. p>

Useful measurement markings (in cups and mls) on the sides and a built-in storage space for the stopper complete the list of helpful features.

Drain the giblets, and chop the meat (discard the cooking liquid and gristle, and remove meat from the neck).

Since then, they have designed the OXO tot range which aims to make feeding little ones a little bit easier and a lot more fun. The fat separated to the top almost immediately, making this an easy way to get rid of unnecessary fat. This won’t work with shallow liquids, so you might need to tilt your roasting pan to collect the liquid in the corner so it’s deep enough, or transfer it to another 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 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.

Since most fat separators are clear, you’ll be able to look at the contents and determine for yourself if things are nicely separated or not. Just pour hot pan gravy into the jug – the strainer lid removes any lumps – wait a few seconds for the fat to rise to the top, then pour the gravy juices from underneath. 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.Kitchen Craft graduated gravy jug designed to pour from the bottom to separate fat and food from gravy and sauces, lowering fat, oil and cholesterol intake. OXO Good Grips designs some of the most innovative, easy-to-use, and ergonomic kitchen gadgets on the market so it's no surprise this fat separator takes our top spot. Over time, fat will naturally rise to the top of your gravy, leaving the tasty juices at the bottom. Fat separators resemble measuring cups and are designed to drain liquid while keeping the fat layer contained.

A stopper in the spout keeps liquid from entering the spout as the cup is filled, so very little fat will enter the spout. A silicone plug ensures this separator doesn't leak and is easily released with a press of a thumb release built into the cup's handle. Modelled on our original fat separating jug, which was hugely popular with loads of health-conscious cooks, this version of our Gravy Skimmer Jug is made from robust Tritan, which can resist a higher heat than the previous model. This is made from dishwasher-safe heat-resistant plastic that will easily handle the heat of your roasting juices, and it has a heat-resistant strainer lid that catches the unwanted bits. Once separation has occurred, dispense the liquid leaving behind any unwanted fat and oil in the measuring cup for disposal.The transparent jug has clearly marked measuring scales and the integrated straining lid to filter food from the gravy can be removed for use as a individual measuring jug.

Juices can make their way through the filter and end up blocking the bottom drain so it's best to pour slowly and carefully. It would, however, be excellent for removing the fat from the top of the turkey soup or other leftover turkey recipes you’ll be making in a few days. The outlet lever in the handle and measurement scale (in ml and fl oz) allow it to accurately measure and pour.This bottom drain-style fat separator has a spring-loaded valve that releases liquids directly from the bottom of the container. OXO began life when Sam Farber, an entrepreneur in the housewares industry, saw an opportunity to create comfortable kitchen tools that could be used by everyone.
