Vondior Fat Separator With Bottom Release, 4 Cup Oil Separator for Cooking

If you make braised meats or soups, this is a great gadget to quickly get rid of all the extra fat which renders off and floats to the top. Simply pour the cooking liquid into this gadget, let the fat rise to the top and pull the trigger to drain the broth/stock without the fat. I use mine for pot roasts (skin off the fat before making gravy) and to get rid of some of the fat when I’m making chicken stock. Fast and easy! The only downside is the fact it is another specialized kitchen gadget which needs storage space. Mine has earned a spot in the pantry.

I actually never knew this existed, but I am so happy I learned about it now! It definitely made a huge difference in the pot roast I made, so much more flavor just from being able to separate the fat from the actual juice, easily. I don’t know if this fat separator is what made the pot roast the best one I’ve made, ever, but I kinda think it had everything to do with it. Made a huge difference to me, and to my family who asked me if I did something different, and I told them, “Nope, just took the fat out.” Lol

I’ve had a fat separator for many years but it was the kind that had a spout at the bottom and you had to carefully pour out the “good stuff” from the fat. It worked OK but when I saw this Separator with the spout on the bottom and a push button to release the gravy, I immediately put it on my Christmas Wish List. My sister-in-law saw it and put it on her list also. I’ve used it several times now and it works perfectly!! I also like the fact that it’s 4 cups. Sometimes, with my old separator, I had to do the work twice in a row because it was only 2 cups. My problem is that the company did a really bad job with directions regarding how to clean it. There was only a slip of paper and on it they tell you that the lid and the container are dishwasher safe – a good thing because the dishwasher will do a better job getting rid of the grease. But there is no guidance regarding how to do this. I sent an email to the company and got a response back. The first one repeated the fact that you have to clean separately…. Duh!! But they gave no directions how to do it. It was only as I was looking at the Amazon page again to see if I could find some guidance that one of the pictures showed the handle with the plug attached separate from the container!! The thing unscrews!! Easy. It would have saved me a lot of hassle if they just told you that in the directions. I wrote back to the company, and they responded with a video that shows that. But this video wasn’t in the Amazon page – just customer videos which I typically don’t watch. Vondior – you have a great product. Please update your product directions that are included with the item.

This is an excellent device for efficiently removing excess fat. It is user-friendly, and its performance surpasses that of conventional fat separators. Additionally, it is easy to clean.

I love this little kitchen tool. Makes seperating fat so easy. The strainer on top is a great addition.

I recently tried out the Fat Separator With Bottom Release, and it’s become my new favorite kitchen tool. After slow-cooking pulled pork, I used this separator to remove excess fat and make finishing the dish a breeze. Using the separator was straightforward—pouring the cooking juices through the strainer into the container was mess-free, and the fat separation process was quick. The bottom release feature made it incredibly easy to pour out the flavorful broth while leaving the fat behind, ensuring my pulled pork remained rich in taste without the greasy texture. One of the standout features is how easy it is to take apart and clean. The components disassemble effortlessly, and they are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup a quick and hassle-free task. The design is practical and well-made, with clear measurements for easy monitoring of liquid amounts. Overall, the Fat Separator With Bottom Release has streamlined my cooking process and elevated the flavors of my dishes. Whether you’re cooking for a family dinner or hosting a barbecue, this tool is a game-changer. Highly recommended for any home chef

I love this product! It’s my second one. After many years, the first got a crack in the bottom. Probably my fault. Regardless I wanted another one. Easy to take apart and throw in dishwasher. I bought it because America’s Test Kitchen recommended. They’re very reliable.

This thing is amazing. These pictures are from the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana soup recipe I was trying. And yes it’s bomb, and yes this fat extractor is awesome! In picture 3 you’ll notice a little more fat because there was still liquid (and more fat) in the pot because all the ingredients to the soup were in there. What I will do next time is scoop out the ingredients and add to the pot holding the extracted liquids. Highly recommend!

Excellent product! Works very well. I am so pleased with it! Highly recommend it

I’ve been using the Fat Separator with Bottom Release (4 Cup) for my cooking, and it’s fantastic. The bottom release makes pouring gravy smooth and mess-free, while the strainer catches any unwanted bits. It’s durable and easy to clean, perfect for separating fat quickly. Great value for a kitchen essential. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves homemade gravy like I do!

Buy one for everyone you know!! :) I've tired many separator's in the past and this is the only that does what it supposed to do. Very easy to use & comes apart to wash easily. Does not leak at all through the bottom hole. Brilliant design :) I just bought one for my parents after bringing mine to their house to make the Christmas gravy. Only negative is the peeler that comes with it is useless! It rotates but flips as you are trying to use it. I threw it away.

I have used this separator with meat broth and milk. It was very easy to use and view the line between liquid and fat. It washes well in the dishwasher and separates into three pieces for washing. I let my broth cool a bit, as the separator is plastic, but that's not a problem. I'm very happy with it.

Best oil separator on the market. Easy to use and clean. I’d get a 2 cup if it’s available as this is quite big. If size doesn’t matter, I recommend this fat separator.
