Review
For anyone who likes to cook often a kitchen funnel is a very useful utensil to have. Funnels come in a variety of sizes and shapes and some have silicone strainers included. If you freeze or can your own foods a funnel is super important and buying a good quality one will make your life in the kitchen that much easier.
This particular funnel, the Norpro Stainless Steel model, has a wide mouth that measures 5.5 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches. The silicone strainer is resistant to high heats of up to 500 degrees F or 260 C.
The manufacturer recommends that you hand wash this item and not place it in the dishwasher.
Overview of the Norpro Wide Mouth Funnel
This funnel is particularly useful for canning and for straining liquids into wide rim jars. You can easily filter the liquid with the silicone strainer. The benefits of using a quality funnel/strainer are that you can transfer hot liquids and solids between containers easily and safely. Who wants to deal with a nasty burn? Plus you won’t end up with messy and sticky hands.
The most common use for a funnel with a strainer would be for making jellies and jams along with preserving foods. If you grow your own fruits and vegetables and haven’t thought about canning them, this might be a good time to start doing so. You can enjoy your fresh foods all year round and save money when any particular food is not in season.
