I never owned one before. I got a good grips one - 4 cups. If anyone has one of these, please help me. I'm not using it right now, but trying to figure out how it's used. It says to insert strainer and stopper into the fat separator. Pour gravy thru the strainer into the Separator. Fat rises to the top while lean gravy settles to the bottom.
1. Do you have to have a total 4 cups of gravy for this to work? What if I only make 2 cups of gravy for example. The bottom of the strainer is actually a little bit above the 4 cup mark. Trying to figure how something can rise if the strainer is ABOVE the top of the liquid level.
I guess when I opened the package, I expected the holes on the strainer would be smaller, but maybe I just need to see it work once to understand how it all works. At first I thought maybe it would stop the fat from going into the cup/fat separator as your pouring it, but than I read that it says the fat RISES to the top.
This is suppose to eliminate having to put the gravy into the refrigerator over night so I can strain fat off the top and so I can do it RIGHT after cooking at times.
There were very good reviews about this Good Grips Fat Separator.
Funny it almost looks like a measuring cup with a handle and a strainer to fit the top. I could of made this. ha ha ha ha.
I'm trying to figure out or make sense to how this might work.
