Greasy broth turns clear after one pass with this skimmer. The round bowl gathers the floating oil, and the spout on its rim drains it into a container, so you skip the paper towels and the fat jug. It is a simple tool for weeknight soup, Sunday stock and stew for guests.
Separate oil from soup and broth in one simple scoop
- greasy soup
- excess oil in broths and stews
- oil slicks in cooking liquids
- messy skimming
Skim the grease in one scoop, keep the broth clear
Soup that looks rich because of a slick of floating oil, before, becomes a clean, lighter broth after one pass with a spoon that drains the fat through its spout.
One scoop, one spout, zero paper towels
Round bowl catches the oil
The round bowl sits flat on the surface and gathers the floating oil while the broth stays behind. Slide it slowly across the pot and the oil collects in the bowl instead of breaking into droplets.
Rim spout drains it out
The spout sits on the rim, so you can pour the oil into a jar or bowl without spilling broth over the side. Pour right after each scoop, while the oil is still liquid and runs freely.
Hanging hole keeps it handy
A small hole at the end of the 21 cm handle takes a hook, so the spoon hangs by the stove between batches instead of drying on the counter. The ribbed grip keeps a firm hold when your hand is wet or greasy.
Four passes from pot to clean bowl
- 1Let the fat rise
Turn the heat down and let the broth sit for a few minutes so the oil floats to the top.
- 2Slide the bowl flat
Hold the handle low and slide the bowl slowly across the surface. Slow strokes keep the oil in one layer instead of breaking it up.
- 3Drain through the spout
Tip the bowl over a container and pour the oil out through the spout while it is still liquid.
- 4Repeat, then hang it up
Make another pass until the surface looks clear, rinse the bowl, and hang the spoon on a hook by the stove.

Questions and answers
The listing does not include a heat rating, so keep the handle out of the flame and rest it on the rim, not on the burner. The bowl sits in the liquid while you skim, and the handle stays above the pot.
The handle is 21 cm long, which reaches a standard stock pot comfortably. Measure your pot depth before you buy if you use a tall stockpot or a deep fryer, since the bowl needs to reach the surface with a few centimetres of handle above the rim.
It pulls the surface oil off in a few passes, so the broth looks clear to the eye. Some fat sits just under the surface and will stay. For the cleanest result, let the pot rest for a minute, then skim again.
Yes. Let the oil cool slightly, scoop the excess from the surface of the pot, and drain it through the spout into a container. It catches the oil that would otherwise drip onto the counter.
Pour out the oil through the spout while it is still liquid, then rinse the bowl with hot water. Cooled fat clings to the plastic and makes the bowl harder to clean, so do not leave it sitting in the sink.
Paper towels soak up broth along with the oil, and a fat jug takes time to settle and more to clean. One spoon does the job in a few passes and hangs on a hook afterward, so it replaces both for less than the cost of a jug.
