I positively love my OXO fat separator! It holds a good amount of liquid, but not so much as to be difficult to pour. The lid helps strain out the solids, but if you want your broth to be absolutely clear, put a piece of cheesecloth over the lid.
IMPORTANT - the little black stopper MUST be inserted in the pouring spout before you add liquids to the cup or the fat will simply rise up in the spout. The stopper creates a vacuum, forcing the fat into the main body of the cup. When you're ready to pour, remove the stopper and the fat will remain floating in the body of the cup.
This cup is made out of high-quality plastic and washes up well in the dishwasher. It doesn't stain when you wash it with the tomato sauces! I've used mine for a couple of years and it's as good as new. I wouldn't make gravy or broth without it.

Initially, I bought the bigger 4 cups of this separator, simply believing that "Bigger can do smaller jobs". However, I had a hard time to separate fat. My guess for why it did not work with 4 cup was the total amount of liquid was not enough to the level of fat to stay high. Yes, I was right. Everything works perfectly with this smaller 2 cup fat separator.
My recommendation is: Unless you do not have a huge amount of liquid, such as from big thanksgiving turkey, buy this 2 cups not 4 cups. Based on my experience, 2 cups is well enough for normal size of braising/roasting dishes. Moreover, if you have a huge amount of liquid, you just devide the amount into two batches and separate them twice. You have a flexibility to do so with this 2 cup separator but not with the larger 4 cup one.

This is a nice big separator. It holds four cups and it has a wide mouth so it's easier to fill. It's lightweight and has a great OXO handle. I found it easy to use and it did the job well. It's dishwasher safe too. The strainer on top does let a few small solids come through, but a piece of cheesecloth easily solves this. My previous separator had no straner at all.
I think this is the best you're gonna get.

By far the leading contender for lean gravy making! This separator makes separating meat juices a whiz! I've tried all the other products out there, and this one beats them all. It's perfectly sized 4 cup capacity handles the average accumulation of juices collected from a cooked bird or roast with an extra wide mouth for easy pouring. Like all the other OXO products, the Fat Separator has the same comfortable ergonomic grip.

I really cannot find any fault with this item. It does exactly what it says it does and is very easy to use. OXO is one of my favorite kitchen gadget companies, so you can't go wrong there.
The only recommendation I would make is that I wish I had purchased the 4 cup model. The 2 cup unit fills up faster than I had envisioned and when you get to the point of being full it is easy to create spillage because it starts seeping into the top part. When you pour it can be a problem if you have filled it all the way up. I'd like to have some comfort room so when I get my time machine, I will go back and purchase the 4 cup one instead! :)

I have not used this very often, but when I have I've been pleased. The stopper for the spout, which confounded me, proved to be excellent at keep fat out of it. So, there was never that little splash of grease right as one pours out the juices. It's capacious, and the strainer works for larger bits. If one needs a fine sauce, a finer strainer will need to be used.

I made beef stock and was able to drain through top and tilt/pour fat-free broth into my sauce. When I got to the bottom, I plugged the spout and tilted to pour most of remaining fat off through large top opening. Meanwhile, the broth in spout stayed where it was.
It also worked the same way for separating sausage fat and au jus. I loved being able to save the tasty liquid without having to throw it out with the fat.

For anyone who is trying to cut back on their fat intake - - but still enjoys the juices from their roasts, etc., THIS is the ticket. It truly does separate the fat from the meat juices so that you can have the tasty gravy without all that unhealthy fat.

Does a great job
This product does what it's supposed to do. It seperates the grease really well. Even though I hav'nt figured out what the little red rubber piece is for, I'm sure I will later.

Pretty cool and for the price it's very reasonable! Very sturdy & dishwasher safe. The top comes off and becomes a sieve.
