Finally, a grease separator that really works. Having the easy release on the bottom of the container allows you to get all the wonderful flavors of the pan juices into your sauce without any of the grease. Excellent!

When I'm in the Kitchen, I become: Cooking Enthusiast
I received my Swing-A-Way Grease Separator just in time for Thanksgiving. What an easy kitchen tool to use when there are so many busy hands in the kitchen "helping". After seperating the grease from the drippings I put the seperator in the refrigerator to solidify the grease. The cleanup is great anid best of all the grease didn't sit in top of the gravey in the gravey boat. I got many oohs and aahs from my daughters and son (a gourmet cook} who will each get one in their Christmas stocking.

I use this grease separator as a milk/cream separator. We buy fresh milk from a local farm, so the cream rises to the top. I pour my milk into the 4 cup container, let it sit in the refrigerator overnight, and the next morning, release the milk from the bottom back into the milk container and pour the cream into the jar. It works great.

Over the years I've had several grease separators. This is by far the best one. It's nice that things such as chopped onions get trapped in the top so that they can go back into the gravy.

Such an obvious design, you'll wonder why it's not simply The Standard. Large capacity, nice strainer feature, gets the job done efficiently. It could only be improved upon were it made of a durable glass instead of plastic. But I'm not complaining, I LOVE this gadget. Don't cook a roast or make stock or gravy without it!

I already had a gravy measuring cup, but it seems there is still grease in the spout when you use it, but not with this item. It is very cool, because the grease floats to the top and the bottom opens sort of like using a flour sifter. So no grease gets in your gravy. As I try to decrease fat in the foods I cook, I see myself using this gadget a lot! I put it in the dishwasher and it washed up nicely too.

I have just opened the product. It appears there was some type of round plastic piece that fits at the bottom above where the slider moves from. This piece was loose in the carton. without this piece, I don't know how the liquid stays in the cup. Seems cheaply made?

The swing-a-way grease separator works beautifully: the strainer at the top is big enough to pour a fairly large quantity of drippings at one time; the grease rises quickly to the top and the liquid flows easily from the bottom. There was no leakage from the bottom, and the squeeze handle is very easy to operate. My only quibble is that the unit was hard to clean by hand. I finally just put it in the dishwasher, which worked.

I bought this gem at Thanksgiving time, and have used it over and over again since. The lid is a strainer, so the juices easily pour through, catching all of the particles. Once the juices separate from the fat, just pull the handle and presto! The juice quickly flows from the bottom.
I like the measuring markings. It has good capacity, and clean-up is a breeze. Making gravy is so easy and quick with this gadget, you will never buy it out of a jar or a powdered mix again!
