A bar tool set and support platform. The platform module has a form factor and appearance of a partially disassembled replica of a riding vehicle such that the platform module has a seat tube and a head tube. At least one of the seat tube and the head tube has an open end defining a receiving space for receiving one or more of the bar tools. A wheel frame member is attached to one of the head tube and seat tube and defines a mounting region. At least a coaster or a strainer is configured for mounting to the mounting region. The bar tool has a corkscrew or container opener. The corkscrew has a corkscrew working end which can seat in the open end, and a handle end configured as handlebars positioned above the open end. When one of the coaster and strainer is received in the mounting region, the replica of the riding vehicle is substantially presented.

Various embodiments relate to a cooking grease receptacle. The receptacle is configurable for depositing, filtration, storage, and/or reuse of cooking oil and grease. An example embodiment is an assembly comprising a reservoir and at least one attachment. The reservoir has a flat bottom end and a flat top end. The top end of the reservoir comprises a reservoir inlet defined by a coupling ridge. The at least one attachment has a sidewall and comprises an outlet defined by at least a portion of the sidewall. The attachment is configured to be fluidly coupled to the reservoir, via the coupling ridge, at the outlet such that a seal is formed between the attachment and the coupling ridge. Various attachments may be interchangeable such that similar coupling mechanisms across attachments are used. In some embodiments, the reservoir and the at least one attachment comprise a heat resistant material capable of withstanding temperatures of up to and including 750 degrees Fahrenheit.

This disclosure relates generally to oil strainer with holes that open and close with a flick of a switch. In an instant, the oil strainer transforms to a solid floor, allowing the user to entrap the unwanted hot oil and create a crisp soup, broth, or stew. A strainer with small holes sits just below the transforming solid floor, to slightly press down soup contents; preventing soup contents from being cut or going in the oil trapper.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for the immediate manual removal of fat and/or grease from a liquid broth in a cooking vessel after or during the preparation of certain items of food. The method is readily accomplished by the utilization of two co-planar, shaft-mounted pulleys moving an elastomeric, flat belt through the liquid in the cooking vessel. Fat molecules will tend to adhere to the belt, while water molecules in the liquid broth will cling to each other more readily than to the belt. Thus the water droplets, by the force of gravity, are separated from fat droplets that adhering to the moving belt. Dual, advantageously-placed wipers, pressed against the outer and inner surfaces of the moving belt, scrape the clinging fat particles onto a downward sloping spout, thus routing the fat into a storage container.

The present disclosure relates to a bag for separating fluids with differing densities. In particular the disclosure relates to a kitchen utensil that can use to separate, for example, gravy or pan juices from cooking fat. The bag includes upper and lower openings and an upper handle. Cooking juices can be placed into the bag via the upper opening. Once closed, the fat will rise while the gravy collects at the bottom of the bag adjacent the lower closure. The lower closure can then be opened to let out the gravy.

Various embodiments relate to a manual centrifuge food processing device. An example device includes a bowl and a spindle extending from an inner surface of the bowl. A mesh basket is removably coupled to the bowl and is structured to receive a food product. The mesh basket defines a hub structured to receive the spindle so as to facilitate rotation of the mesh basket relative to the bowl about the spindle. A lid is removably coupled to the bowl. The lid includes a drive mechanism structured to rotate the mesh basket in response to a manual input so as to drive liquid from the food product due to centrifugal force. Each of the bowl and the mesh basket is formed of metal.
