Abstract:
A cooking utensil for separating liquid gravy from fats and oil is provided, which utensil has a receptacle in which is placed the mixture of gravy with fats and oil. The bottom of the receptacle has an elongated tubular opening in which a valve is positioned. The liquid gravy is removed from the mixture by gravity through the tubular opening, and the rate of outflow is controlled by a valve. The valve has a flexible closure element which when positioned within the cylindrical portion of the opening closes off the flow of liquid, and when positioned in the truncated conically-shaped outlet of the tubular opening controls the rate of outflow.
