Who uses the gadget that separates fat from gravy?
Comments (15)I use the OXO fat separator. You can use a few feet of plastic tubing (aquarium store). Place the drippings in a container on a elevated surface (the range?) and an empty container at a lower level (the floor?). Hold one end of the tubing near the bottom of the drippings/upper container. Suck on the other end of the tubing to fill the tubing with liquid, and hold that end at the bottom of the empty/lower container. Liquid will continue flowing from upper to lower container, so long as the end where the liquid is exiting the tubing is held at a lower height than the end where the liquid is entering the tubing. This is simply siphoning. The tubing can get clogged, so don't hold it right at the bottom of the drippings container, and use tubing that is not too narrow. To stop flow, just pinch the tubing. This method will separate fat from liquid just as effectively than a fat separator. It works well when you have a large quantity of liquid to process (e.g. made 4 gallons of fatty stock, stockpot is too heavy to pour into separator). A few feet of tubing is cheaper, and takes up less storage space, than a fat separator. Disadvantage is - that it is kind of a fiddly process the first time....See MoreWhat kind of cookware do you use for making sauce ('gravy')?
Comments (16)AM: I was talking about Thalassemia or Mediterranian Anemia. OR, IF YOUR IRON COUNT IS HIGH. You can put too much Iron into your System. Ask a Hematologist or Why don't you Google, " Thalassiemia, can iron pills cause a Heart Attack " See what you come up with. It would not hurt others to take a look also. I'm not a Pro, just know from experiences, in my family. I have bloodwork done every so often. I also smoked cigarettes for 50 years.( I quit about 15 years ago ) It didn't seem to affect me. But I wouldn't tell someone it is OK to smoke So I wouldn't listen to ME or persons who are not Professionaly qualified. Sorry if this went off topic. Just trying to help!!!

Comments (4)I've made gravy after using an oven roasting bag with no problem. It isn't really pale if I remember right. You can always add just a drop of gravy master if you want it darker. Or make a roue, letting the butter brown slightly, then use the drippings and broth to finish the gravy. I've only cooked about 4 turkeys in my 53 years, so maybe someone else can help more.

Comments (6)After turkey sliders Friday night I set my stock on and simmered overnight. Two quarts of stock included turkey meat, two pints clear stock and a 1/4 pint of leftover gravy. Also froze my cranberry sauce. And a pint of dressing/stuffing. NYTimes has a recipe for leftover stuffing dumplings. Similar to matzo balls. Never thought to add gravy to the stock. I would probably add it after simmering and straining. Adding to the warm/cooling stock before freezing. I plan to add my gravy to one quart for a pot pie, and the other quart, a brothy soup. Nice to have a couple quick meals for the next few weeks. So thrilled we found a small turkey. A combination of flavors so familiar once a year....See More- 10 years ago
