Tool of the Week: The g-Spout

—Contest now closed—

The g-spout

Admittedly, it’s hard for anyone or anything to follow up the Belle of the Ball — the Taylor 4-Event Digital Timer — for Tool of the Week, but we’ll give it a shot.

Introducing the g-Spout. Here’s a removable, multi-purpose spout and strainer that helps you strain and pour hot cooking oil and grease, batters, soups and sauces. New to the market, this innovative device simply clips onto the side of frying pans, saucepans, double boilers, and bowls, and away you go.

It looks like a bat with a handle attached to its back — the samples I have here are green and white — and I’m sure some industrious soul out there would be able to use it in some kind of Halloween costume.

Aside from that, the manufacturer warns that the g-Spout — which measures about 7 inches by 3 inches — should not be used over a direct flame or where temperatures exceed 450 degrees. Unlike our ongoing tests of the ManPans, we are talking about silicon here, folks, so I don’t plan to put it to the 2500-degree torch test.

The company says that customers are writing in with new uses for the g-Spout all the time. Among them: making cupcakes, muffins, and pancakes without drips or baked-on batter, drizzling chocolate or caramel from a double boiler, pouring paint back into bottles (!), straining fruit salad, vegetables or rice, pouring sugar, salt or coffee, you name it. In fact, the card that comes with the g-Spout says it belongs in the:

  • RV
  • Boat
  • Kitchen
  • Garage
  • Craft Room

Made of high temperature food grade silicone, the g-Spout is microwave and dishwasher safe.

I’d be curious how many different sizes of pans it can accommodate? It is a nice solution to for dripping pans.

This is a great idea. there are times after frying and I want to make gravy in the drippings I need to pour off the excess grease.

It’s an interesting idea, but this is one of those products that bring out the “I’ll believe it when I see it” in me. It’d be fab if it works!
