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 There's no better funnel for a deep fryer   September 6, 2008
tm (Portland, OR USA)
Figured I'd need a funnel after I bought a deep fryer, read the reviews about this one and bought it. A very good decision. I've had funnels over the years but nothing like this. It's large, sturdy, the screen holes are the perfect balance to filter out the large particles and not slow too much. Fits in the dishwasher nicely too.

This funnel is of really high quality - it's made well enough it might even serve as a sausage stuffing attachment for your meat grinder - that's a joke folks - but it is very well made and I'm happy with my purchase. I wish they made one a little larger, though. This one is just about perfect for filling baby bottles, but a larger model would fit my needs better.


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.
