Amazon.com Review
All kitchens need a funnel, and this big one does more than simply transfer liquids from one container to another without creating a mess. Inside there's a detachable strainer so solids can be filtered from liquids. Use it to strain out those burned bits from cooking oil so it can be reused, for example, or use when making beer, herb-infused vinegars, or garlic oil for cooking. The stainless-steel funnel is 6 inches in diameter, stands 5 inches high, is dishwasher-safe, and should prove helpful for a lifetime. Hang it by its handle. --Fred Brack

5 out of 5 stars great strainer/funnel   June 9, 2008
Mom of Four (Oregon)
I bought this at the same time that I bought my new deepfryer for the purpose of straining the oil after each use. I used to use a plastic funnel with a little strainer inside, and it worked, but it was unstable and easily resulted in spills. And who likes to clean up oil spills? The Norpro 5 1/2 inch Stainless Steel Funnel with Detachable Strainer works great for the purpose for which I purchased it. It cleans easily as it is dishwasher safe. I am not disappointed, in the least, for making this purchase.


2 out of 5 stars Performed well but...   May 30, 2008

When it arrived I thought to myself that the filter holes look a bit larger than expected. Upon first use the filter is only good for large particles. Grit and bits of things like floured coatings slipped through. I ended up using a couple layers of cheese cloth instead.

One other "nit" to pick. Because of the design, when inserted into a largish container openning, there is little to no room for air to escape so I had to lift the funnela little to let the air out. Laddling 4-5 liters of oil one handed was messy at best.

All in all my $2 large plastic funnel and cheese cloth performed better for my needs.

I use this funnel twice a day to fill glass bottles with distilled water,
works great. I like the strainer being detachable. I like the strainer, but like too the option of not using it too.

I purchased this funnel for my homebrewing needs. The size is just right and it stays put on top of my carboy but the funnel clogs up too easy when pouring the wort into the carboy. It becomes a trick because you have to pause and clean the thing out which can become a pain when you're trying to keep things sanitary. I might drill the holes little bigger and see what happens. I do recommend the stainless steel for homebrewing though.

Strainer does not filter particles such as cornmeal. Otherwise, it's a fine item.
