Fat separator

[JohnTak]

With Thanksgiving coming up I need a good fat separator recommendation.

Well I had a pancake batter dispenser till a big burst of wind came through the kitchen and knocked a cutting board over, it knocked it into the floor and broke. I had plans to use it as it was big and drained out the bottom, only thing would have to watch temps so it didn't warp. I will buy another one , if you look around the good 1's drain out of the bottom, I have a older 1 that's made like a measuring cup with a spout that works. OXO may make a good 1 and I like their products a lot

 

[Michael Smotch]

I prefer oxo brand also. Use the one with spout

 

[Bob Bailey]

Oxo Softworks, for sure.

Cuisipro Fat Separator is fabulous. Also, it's recommended by Cook's Illustrated.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Yes, that Oxo is a good one and not miserably expensive!

Not so sure that Cook's Illustrated is the most credible endorsement.

Why? They take no sponsorship from manufacturers, I see no hurdle with the endorsement.

Their coffee maker taste tests were a joke.

Their coffee maker taste tests were a joke.

So that makes all their recommendations a joke? Personally, I find many of their recommendations solid.

Cuisipro has 1,698 ratings on Amazon with an average of 4.6 out of 5.

I have a catamount glass fat separator. Looks like the one below without the filter.

I pour the drippings through a SS mesh strainer into a 1 or 2 quart pryex and then pour the filtered drippings into the fat separator.

Mine looks like this, but without the mesh strainer on the lid or the thing on the spout.

No. But it's a major kitchen item in almost every home and perhaps not the best small appliance review to drop the ball on.

Why were they a joke? Didn't they recommend the Moccamaster? Or am I missing something?

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Jay, I’ve used a lot of their recommendations in the past and not felt like they were fraudulent, I don’t see any hard evedience supporting your supposition but, I’m sure you have some reason for it.

They are a money grubbing, pay wall, con job of an organization.
I despise them and their so called hosts. Perhaps a personal thing.

 

[Jay D in Jersey]

Perhaps I should suggest this: How many of you think ATK is so great you subscribe for $40/year?

Don't hold back tell us how you really feel No BTW I don't subscribe. But then I don't subscribe to CR either or anything else like them

 

[Scott Smith]

I only cook a couple of turkeys a year, so the old plastic whatever it is (with the missing pieces) in the cabinet will continue to work for me. I use a separate strainer.

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

This is getting pretty cranky but, no, I stopped all subscriptions for various reasons.

But…..the Victorinox chefs knife they recommended to me is FANTASTIC!
