Re: [CnD] skimming fat
If I have a sauce or stew, I will take a few paper towels, wad them into a ball ; then flatten them out the size of the pan. I lie them on the top of the sauce , pressing lightly then remove. You may have to repeat,depending upon the amount of grease. The wadding makes the paper towels more absorbent.

I don't know of a way to tell when the contents of the spoon contains liquid but little or no fat except by tasting what's in the spoon. Letting it cool and removing the solid fat is the most efficient way. It does mean you have to allow more time to make the dish.
