Product Information

Full details

The Apollo 500ml Gravy Fat Separator and Measuring Jug is an ideal kitchen companion for home cooks aiming to reduce excess oil in their gravies, stocks, and sauces. Its primary benefit is the intelligent bottom-pour design that effectively separates unwanted fat and particles from liquids before you serve. While highly efficient for its size, users should note that the 500ml capacity is better suited for standard family meals rather than large-batch cooking or commercial catering.

FAQs

Is the Apollo Fat Separator dishwasher safe?

While many plastic items are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing this item to ensure the longevity of the measuring markings and the integrity of the bottom-pour mechanism.

Can I use this for boiling hot liquids?

It is best to let liquids sit for a minute to cool slightly after removing from the heat. This improves safety and protects the plastic from potential thermal warping.

What is the maximum capacity of the jug?

The jug has a maximum capacity of 500ml.

Does it remove all the fat from the gravy?

The design is highly effective at removing the bulk of the surface fat layer, resulting in a significantly healthier sauce than one served directly from a pan.

Can I use this to measure dry ingredients?

Yes, because the lid is removable, it functions effectively as a standard measuring jug for both wet and dry ingredients.

Troubleshooting

Liquid leaking from the bottom spout while settling

Check that the internal valve or seal is properly aligned and clear of any solidified food particles that may be preventing a tight closure.

Measurements are fading

Avoid using harsh detergents or putting the jug through high-temperature dishwasher cycles; always hand wash with a soft cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Efficiently reduces excess fat in sauces and gravies
  • Versatile design functions as both a separator and measuring jug
  • Easy to clean and maintain
  • Lightweight and comfortable to handle

Cons

  • 500ml capacity may be too small for large family gatherings
  • Requires careful hand-washing to maintain the clarity of the markings
  • Plastic construction is prone to scratching if abrasive scrubbers are used

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the separator, ensure the bottom-pour spout is clean and the silicone seal (if applicable) is properly seated. When pouring hot liquids, always handle with care to avoid splashes.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always hand-wash the jug with warm soapy water after every use to prevent grease buildup in the spout.
  2. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic and obscure the measurement markings.
  3. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing it in a cupboard to prevent water spots.
  4. Do not use the jug for liquids that are at a rolling boil; allow them to cool slightly before pouring to preserve the integrity of the materials.
