Essential Kitchen Tools for Thanksgiving Dinner (Page 4)

Fat Separator

Once the turkey is done, it’s time to make the gravy. When making pan gravy you want to use the flavorful pan drippings, minus the fat. The easiest way to separate the two is with a Fat separator specially designed for this task. Just pour the pan drippings into the measuring-cup-like tool, let the fat rise to the top, then pour the juices from the spout as the fat stays behind. We like the Oxo Good Grips 2-cup Fat Separator ($10.95), which comes complete with a strainer top and a rubber stopper to help keep the fat out of the pour spout. Look for it at cooking.com.
