Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips 4-Cup Fat Separator
Customer Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this item in order to avoid the need to be constantly tilting a regular measuring cup and skimming the fat off the top with a spoon. This cup didn't really separate the fat all that well. Factoring in the extra time it takes to clean this vs. a regular measuring cup, I don't think I gained anything. Would recommend saving your money.Customer Review: Melting danger
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item thinking that a plastic fat separator would be more durable than a glass one. Then I got to thinking, "doesn't plastic melt?" and if so, then why would I pour oven temperature liquid into this thing? So I contacted Oxo. And I contacted them again. And again. Three times I spoke to someone in customer service, including one instance where the customer service rep tried transferring me to their "product engineering department." No one at Oxo was willing or able to tell me the actual temperature this product (or their other fat separator) was "heat resistant" to. (I should note that my concern wasn't exclusively whether the separator would literally melt, but also whether at certain higher temperatures the plastic might start to give off certain chemical nastinesses to my foods.) I eventually returned this item in favor of a glass separator.
"Heat resistant" means nothing. My fingers are in fact "heat resistant," but that doesn't mean I'm going to stick them in a pan of 350 degree oil. By the same token, I'm not going to put 350 degree oil in something unless I know it is safe to do so.
