Anyone who loves making homemade soup or broth knows the struggle of dealing with the greasy film that rises to the top. Skimming it off with a spoon or using a fat separator can be messy, time-consuming, and far from perfect. But what if you could remove that fat instantly—without waiting for the soup to cool or losing valuable broth in the process?
That’s exactly what the Harty Clip-on Fans were designed to do. Using a clever Airstream separation system, these compact devices make instant soup fat removal simple, fast, and effective.

The Science Behind Airstream Fat Removal
Fat and oil naturally rise to the top of hot soup or broth because they’re lighter than water. Traditional methods try to scoop or pour them off manually—but this usually disturbs the surface and mixes fat back into the soup.
The Harty Clip-on Fans take a different approach. They use a steady, controlled stream of air to move the fat layer instead of mechanical tools. This innovative airstream separates fat from soup quickly and cleanly, making it easy to remove without affecting the rest of the liquid.
Principle of Operation
Here’s how it works step by step:
- Clip the fan onto your soup pot or container.
The Harty fan is designed to fit securely on the rim of most cooking pots or bowls. - Turn it on to create a steady airstream.
The fan produces a consistent, gentle flow of air across the surface of the hot soup or broth. - Airflow separates and moves the fat layer.
As the airstream continues, it gently pushes and locks the floating fat to the opposite side of the pot. - Fat collects and becomes easy to skim off.
The air-driven motion causes fat to gather and form a trapped layer, while the fan’s side of the pot remains clear. - Instantly scoop and serve fat-free soup.
Once the fat has been pushed aside, you can simply skim off the collected layer—or ladle directly from the clear side.
This simple but powerful principle allows the Harty Clip-on Fans to achieve instant soup & broth fat removal, giving you a clean surface and pure, flavorful broth in seconds.
Why This Method Outperforms Traditional Fat Separators
Most fat separators rely on pouring cooled broth through spouts or filters, which can be messy and wasteful. Skimming with a spoon takes patience and often results in broth loss.
In contrast, the Harty Airstream System works while the soup is still hot—no cooling, pouring, or waiting required. The process happens naturally and continuously, so you can remove fat as you cook. It’s an efficient, hands-free alternative to old-fashioned skimming and pouring methods.

The Harty Clip-on Fans use minimal energy, require no disposable filters, and fit most standard cookware, making them both sustainable and long-lasting.
Beyond Soups: More Culinary Uses
While the Harty system is perfect for traditional soups and broths, it’s also ideal for other dishes that release fat during cooking—like stews, curries, ramen bases, and bone broths. Whether you’re simmering a stock or finishing a sauce, the airstream separates fat from soup and keeps your cooking clean and professional-looking.
Redefining the Way We Skim Fat
Cooking is about precision and care, but it shouldn’t require tedious cleanup. The Harty approach modernizes a centuries-old kitchen problem using the simplest tool of all—air.
With the Harty Clip-on Fans, there’s no need for messy ladles or bulky fat separators. You just use airflow to skim off the fat layer cleanly and naturally. The result: a better-tasting, healthier soup that’s ready to serve immediately.
The Future of Soup & Broth Fat Removal
Innovation in the kitchen doesn’t always mean more gadgets—it can also mean smarter design. By harnessing the power of a steady airstream, Harty Clip-on Fans have transformed how we think about soup & broth fat removal.
Simple, efficient, and surprisingly satisfying to watch, this system proves that even the smallest ideas can make a big difference in everyday cooking.
So next time you make your favorite broth or stew, skip the spoon and let the airstream separate the fat from your soup—for cleaner flavor, lighter texture, and a truly effortless cooking experience.
