• Large Capacity: 4-cup (1 Liter) capacity, suitable for preparing large batches.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Wash: Before first use, wash all parts of the fat separator and the bonus peeler with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
3. Assemble: Place the strainer lid securely onto the main container. Ensure the silicone drip plug is properly seated in the bottom release spout.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively separate fat from your liquids:

1. Prepare Liquid: Allow hot liquids to cool slightly before pouring to ensure optimal fat separation.
2. Pour Liquid: Carefully pour your gravy, broth, or sauce through the integrated strainer into the fat separator. The strainer will catch any unwanted solids.

3. Allow Separation: Let the liquid sit for a few minutes. The fat will naturally rise to the top, forming a distinct layer, while the leaner liquid settles at the bottom.

4. Release Liquid: Position the fat separator over your desired serving dish or pot. Press the red button on the handle to release the fat-free liquid from the bottom. Release the button to stop the flow.

Troubleshooting

• Liquid Leaks from Bottom: Ensure the silicone drip plug is correctly and firmly seated in the bottom release spout. Check for any damage to the plug.
• Fat Not Separating: Allow sufficient time for the fat to rise to the top. For best results, ensure the liquid has cooled slightly.
