Very few of the gadgets that accumulate on the shelves of home kitchens make it into a professional setting; professionals prefer proven traditional equipment and techniques. A glass or plastic fat separator may become one of the few exceptions. It consists of a pitcher with a tubular spout attached just above the bottom. When roasting juices or other liquids that need to be degreased are placed in the fat separator, the fat floats to the top. The liquid portion is then poured off.
