A grease mop is a kitchen tool used to remove excess liquid grease from food. The Fat Moccasin Kitchen Tool is similar to a cleaning mop, with a brush head and long handle. Grease mops are easy to use but need to be cleaned frequently. They are available in stores and online.

A grease mop is a kitchen gadget that is used to separate and skim excess liquid grease from fried food toppings, stews, gravies, stocks, and sauces. Fat is often removed from food as it can be unhealthy for consumption; tends to accumulate calories and cholesterol. Grease mops and similar kitchen equipment that separate fats promote healthier cooking.

The Fat Moccasin Kitchen Tool is quite similar in appearance to a regular cleaning mop, with a brush head and long handle. Some grease mops have heads made with nylon bristles, while others have absorbent white strips. The brush handle ensures that the user remains a safe distance from the heat and is not accidentally splashed with hot oil or fat.

While they may not be as thorough as other types of kitchen tools used for separating grease, grease mops can be convenient and easy to use. The protective coating is stripped off the bristles or strips of the brush and the brush is skimmed or banged into the surface of the food. The head collects or absorbs fat molecules, without affecting the taste of the food. It’s important to note that the bristles or strips should not be held over a heat source or immersed in the bottom of a hot pan; being nylon, they will melt.

Greasy mops generally only work well on small surfaces. They also need to be cleaned frequently between instances of grease removal. For this reason, many cooks and chefs prefer to use a gravy separator for the main job and finish removing the remaining fat with grease mops.

Cleaning the accumulated grease from the grease mop is essential to increase washing efficiency. It becomes difficult to pick up new grease with the grease broom tool if the bristles or strips are already loaded with grease. Another thing is that the deposited grease can go rancid and cause contamination in the food that the grease mop comes into contact with. The brush head can be cleaned by hand, washing it with soap and water, or you can put the greasy broom in a sea water. You may need to do a deep and thorough cleaning to completely get rid of the grease.

Anyone interested in purchasing a grease mop should shop around at stores that sell different types of kitchen tools. They are usually available for sale at cookware stores and most department stores. They can also be purchased in online kitchen equipment stores.
