The SmartStick hand blender is very easy to use. It only has only one button, a miracle in the kitchen appliance market today! I felt comfortable using it the very first time. It is lightweight and easy to handle and makes creaming soup a snap! It can also be used to get rid of lumps in gravy (although, of course, I never have any). I recommend it to all --- even novice cooks.
Fat Separator and Strainer : Strain pan drippings into the heat-resistant glass, laboratory-quality cup, fat rises to the top and the low spout pours off the flavorful juices. Dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe. 2-cup, 4-cup

This gravy/fat separator is of heat-resistant glass and has a graduated measurement stenciled on the side for easily viewing the volume of your stock. The top is a strainer to use if you wish to remove celery, onions, herbs from your stock. The mesh in the strainer top is easily separated from the rubber gasket for easy cleaning. It worked like a charm and is superior to my prior plastic separator which cracked during use.
