Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Amco Swing-A-Way Easy Release Grease Separator
Customer Review: Thing leaks like crazy. UPDATE - 5 Stars Now. First unit was broken. New unit works perfectly.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just received this item and it leaks like crazy. Would'nt be so bad if you are sifting water but hot greasy gravy is another story. The plastic tab at the bottom does not make a secure connection by any means. The entire valve mechanism leaks - or I should say streams.
I think I am going to return this.
UPDATED****SEPTEMBER 13 2009
My unit was in fact defective. I returned the item to Amazon and it was promptly replaced. The new unit works flawlessly and does not leak at all. It turns out, the first unit was missing a metal clip in the handle that helps close the bottom valve. Without that metal piece, its impossible to get a good seal. The new unit works flawlessly and does not leak.
5 Stars now.
UPDATED*****NOVEMBER 11, 2010
I've had this unit for over a year now and she's still working strong. We use it all the time to separate fats. It's actually very easy to use. The best trick is to dump your gravy into the unit and allow it to just sit for a few minutes. While it sits the fat will rise to the top and start to congeal and all the goodness will go to the bottom where, when you pull the handle, will release all the good stuff into your gravy pot, leaving all the fat behind. It also holds a "family size" amount of gravy - it's pretty large. 5-stars.
