What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Tovolo Gravy Strainer for its superior functionality, centered on the highly effective bottom release mechanism. This feature is celebrated for cleanly separating pure liquid from fat, eliminating the mess of traditional pouring methods. Its generous capacity and integrated strainer add significant convenience, making it invaluable for large cooking tasks. While the core performance is excellent, some users note minor concerns regarding the long-term durability of the plastic body and the need for careful seating of the bottom gasket to prevent slight leakage. Despite these small material critiques, the tool’s functional excellence makes it a highly recommended upgrade for simplifying fat separation.
Know before you buy
The internal tube is designed to draw liquid from the bottom of the basin, where the non-fatty gravy settles. Because fat naturally rises to the top, the liquid poured out through the spout remains lean while the fat stays behind in the container.
Yes, the silicone strainer lid is specifically designed to catch solid bits like giblets, herbs, and vegetables as you pour, ensuring a smooth consistency for your gravy.
The glass basin is designed to handle the temperatures of freshly made gravy. However, you should always handle it with care when transferring hot liquids from the stove.
Absolutely. Once you remove the silicone strainer lid, the basin features clear measurement markings, allowing you to use it as a standard four-cup measuring tool for other kitchen tasks.
Yes, both the glass basin and the detachable silicone lid are dishwasher safe. For the best results, we recommend placing the lid on the top rack.
