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.

I think grease adds some flavor but my wife hates it. Thought I would give this a shot and it has been great so far. It worked well with roast. Separates quickly and the au jus was excellent. I even froze some leftover to use in the future. I also used it with the drippings from a boston butt. The wife always complained about the grease in my pulled pork. She was happy with how it tuned out this time. Kinda the best of both worlds. I get my juices and she doesn’t have to deal with all the grease. Very easy to use with great results.

This is the ONLY fat separator you will ever need. Made by OXO - enough said!! Well worth it and yes I would highly recommend this product to anyone serious about the highest quality and durable useful kitchen tools.

I like the 4-cup capacity of this fat separator. I originally thought I wanted something larger, but after using it, I realized a bigger size would likely be too heavy, especially since you need to hold it steadily and press the release handle while pouring. This size feels manageable.The separator is lightweight and made of thin plastic, which makes it easy to handle but also gives it a slightly flimsy feel. I do worry it could crack or break over time, though I haven’t had any issues yet. That said, I do trust the material quality since it’s OXO, and it’s reassuring that it’s made from heat-resistant, BPA-free materials designed to handle hot drippings and broths.Cleaning was easier than I expected, but still not effortless. I find it difficult to clean the bottom area where the thin plastic connects to the handle. Cleaning the red silicone valve is also a bit tricky. It feels like you really need to open the valve and flush out the passage and hole thoroughly to keep it clean.The strainer works well, but it simply sits on top of the container. If you try to pour from the jar like a regular pitcher, the strainer can fall off. It would be nice if the strainer fit more securely so the container could double as a pitcher, which would also save cabinet space.Functionally, the device does separate fat effectively, especially if you want to remove oil immediately while cooking. That said, for the cleanest fat removal with no liquid loss, refrigerating the liquid overnight and lifting off the solid fat layer is still the best method. With this device, you need to stop draining before reaching the fat layer, which means you may discard a small amount of liquid along with the fat. Still, when you want to skim fat right away, this separator is a very useful tool.

Overall, this is easy to use, and easier to clean than the ones that have a spout coming out of the side at the bottom of the container. One note, though, is that the small opening is actually like a tiny hose that is compressed. If the unit has not been used in a while, squeeze it open manually before using it. Prevents a mess. We really love this unit, would buy it again, and have given it as a gift to others.

Nice quality. Works well to seperate fat from gravy.

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 product for grease separation. Small quantity per fill. Bottom release and easy handle control. Nice and price point for this non generic product.

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.

This is a game changer in my kitchen. I don’t like oily food. I regularly use this to seperate and remove excess fat/grease from stews and curries.
