Abstract
A method and apparatus for removing grease from meat includes a mesh basket for holding the partially cooked meat, a pressure plate for exerting a sustained force on the meat within the mesh basket, one or more spacers for placing on top of the pressure plate, a container for holding the mesh basket with the one or more spacers partially extending beyond an opening in the container and a lid that can be pressed onto the container, sealing the opening and placing sustained force on the spacers, thereby placing sustained force on the pressure plate, thereby compressing the partially cooked meat and extracting grease and excess liquids from the meat through the mesh basket and into the bottom of the container. A handle is provided to hold the container so as to pour out the grease and excess liquids through a flow conducting member, perhaps a spout.
