This product worked well, until about the third time I used it, when the poorly attached glass handle broke off as a result of a very minor knock. Way too fragile for kitchen use.

The glass is extremely thin--much thinner than your usual single-pane window glass. Too thin to stand up to normal usage. I ordered it because I'm trying to use an absolute minimum amount of plastic, but seeing how thin the glass is in this product, I'm reluctantly going back to plastic.

It is fragile glass, but I love being able to use it and clean it without the use of plastics (won't scratch or leave chemicals in your food).

The only knock on tnis is that the cup is a bit small for what you're paying for. Other then that, it works great

I also bought this hoping to get away from plastic and because I liked a larger size. The plastic separator we had at one point cracked due to heat. The glass of this product does seem thin as others have noted but so far this is not an issue and indeed keeps the thing from weighing too much. I handle it with care!

My three star rating is due to the fact that this separator does not separate as well as those with spouts that feed from the bottom. The position of the spout about 1/2 inch up from the bottom means that fat begins to sneak in before you are able to siphon off all the stock. So you either have to accept some fat in your stock or end up with a mixture of fat and non-salvageable stock that you must discard. Maybe not a big deal to some, but inconvenient for us since our jurisdiction issues us a fat receptacle that is recycled and the extra stock means the thing fills up quickly.

Excellent customer service from the shipper and the separator works beautifully! We had a plastic one that finally cracked after years of use. This one is much better!
