What is the smallest quantity of gravy/sauce that this separator will work on? Will it work on half a cup?

Any amount, no matter how small - but it won't drain off the from the bottom so it's really no better than a measuring cup with a filter on top - it's not really a separator at all.

I think it work but perhaps wouldn't work at its best. A half cup basically covers the bottom with little room for the two layers to separate. Think u would be better off letting 1/2 cup sit in whatever vessel you have and then skim off the fat layer (refrigeration helps) ...and use this for 1 cup plus quantities. Works great...use it all the time.

When I used mine over the holidays I got about 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups of gravy..Now I had a big roaster full of turkey to strain so I had to use the separator twice..Ever since I purchased this product I have been using it more than I thought I ever would..Hope this helps.

If this is a single serve it will indeed but it doesn't sound like it. These are small pods and only hold for 14 oz.

The smaller container is cylinder shaped. The four blades spiral from the very bottom of the container up to the 2 cup line. It would hold about 2 cups of puree paste.

It works fine for soft cheeses if you use the large caliber grater. I'd estimate a 2" x 2" chunk at a time.

The capacity is only a bit more than 1/2 cup.It is a very good product. I don't know of anything else that would meet your need.

About 7 half-pints fit into the canner well. Have not tried with pint jars, but it sounds like you really want half pints so it should do the job.

No. I think 1/4 is the least. But it does not even come out like that; it comes out in at least 2 cup portions no matter what you have the setting on.

yes - I had ordered the 3 cup but it was very small; good suggestion, order two - if you are like me, it will get broken pretty soon :-)

Are you putting too much coffee in the basket? Only 2-3 teaspoons work best! Try this and see if it works!

I've done as little as a half cup, the only downside is you have to use a spoon or something to push stuff back down because it will get stuck to the sides out of reach of the blades.

I was able to fit just a bit more than 1/8 teaspoon of some powdered coffee creamer into one. Should be no problem.

You won't be able to fit six half-pint jars in it. I have gotten five in mine, but not six.

I have this set at my café, but not sure of the exact size. I know I make sausage gravy in the small one and it holds about 3 gallons, so the next one up is probably 4-5 and next one 5-6. Hope this helps.

Yes, this works great for it. I did Hollandaise, you just need to make sure that there is enough space in your sauce pan for it not to touch the bottom, and not to big it can't cup it. I have just an average run of the mill set and it worked great. I am sure it will work for you as well.

No, it works as a steamer basket, you need very little water. You'll be surprised how much liquid comes out of the food you cook. I generally add a half cup or less of liquid for most dishes.

It will depend on the size of the canister and the opening. In my application, I utilize two canisters which are approximately 2.5" x 8". I use one bottle and split the contents. It only lasts one hour. Your time results will vary due to the holding canister you use. I hope this gives you some idea and help.

Yes, it will work with 1 cup or less. I think it's sensor checks on weight and vibration time to determine how much water left, so it works with little rice in porridge mode too, for one person!
