You think plastic... weak, melting... No
It is sturdy yet slightly flexible not to be easily breakable.
It handles warm to hot liquid real well as it is made with a some kind of high temperature plastic.
The best are these rubber lines that helps it sticking to the recipient into which you are pouring. No third hand needed nor worries about hot or messy spills.
A little mesh, provided with the set, can be inserted to strain the liquid which is really handy.
Storage of the Funnel set is nice as the funnels and the grid nest into each other.
What might have been nice? Maybe a slightly bigger handle for when we work with kids.
Still, a must have for every cook.

I keep batches of milk-based kefir and kefir d'agua going on my countertop in various mason jars, wine bottles, and jugs. Although the screw-on plastic seed-sprouting-type jar lids work well for straining some of the kefir, I really needed a better funnel/straining setup that would work for everything.

This funnel set is perfect! I use the large funnel, with its strainer insert, the most. It catches not only the milk kefir grains but also the smaller water kefir grains, allowing the kefired liquid to pour through. The strainer piece also snaps into the larger funnel by tucking its edges under three little "bumps" on the inside of the funnel, which holds it very securely in place.

The rubber "lines" on the outside of the funnels work incredibly well not only to keep each funnel steady without needing a third hand, but also to properly vent air from the jar or bottle so I don't get the splashing/glugging of my other funnels.

The smaller funnel nests inside the larger one, with its end piece fitted onto the strainer insert (nice design!) and I keep it all hung neatly on a hook.

I am very pleased with this set.

Not really that much to rave about, it's a funnel. As funnels go, it's among the best I've seen. I am pleased I purchased this product, it stands up the the quality of the rest of the OXO GOOD GRIPS line.

The little strainer insert is pretty worthless, it is hard to "lock" in place and usually pops out. Both funnels are conviniently sized and I use them both without problem. The soft rubber "gripper" ribs on the side are nice, but I dont know if I'd miss them if they werent there.

If you get these with free shipping, I recomend them without hesitation. If you have to pay shipping on top of the purchase price I would recomend buying some of the cheap plastic ($1.99) automotive funnels instead, you probably wont notice any functional difference. The OXO are just nicer looking and a little easier to store as they nest together when stacked.

Oxo makes great products and these funnels are no exception. They come two to a set with a small strainer that helps filter solids. The funnels have a rubberized "thumb spot" that allows you to hold the funnel with ease. This is handy when dealing with oils. The best feature is the series of rubberized stripes that run down the outside of the funnel to hold it securely in the vessel and prevent it from tipping. As a person who has knocked over funnels before, I really appreciate this feature. If you need a funnel, this is the set you should buy. Clean up is easy, just throw them in the diswasher.

This is a great set.

I've used it to transfer cold liquids as well as BOILING liquids without a problem. Cleans well in the dishwasher.

I like that the opening at the bottom is small enough to fit into the smallest of spouts, and yet wide enough to not get clogged by thicker liquids.

I have 2 sets - one for food (pouring costco size ketchup into a table-friendly bottle) and one for industrial (like fabric detergent refills). I've marked the industrial ones with a sharpie so I don't mix them up :)

Really, it hasn't failed me yet for anything I've needed if for. Oxo rarely fails me though -- when in doubt, go with a trusted brand.

Was very impressed with the funnels-when put in container to pour liquid you don't need to worry about it tipping and you can use both hands for whatever you are pouring instead of having to worry about holding the funnel in place.

Not much to say about this. They work.

One positive point: the non-slip grips down the sides really do a good job keeping it in place while pouring... eliminating most of the problems encountered by the negative point.

The negative point: The "handle" on the funnels is more like a tab. It is a little hard to hold on to when you're trying to balance a pot of stock in the other hand.

I bought this funnel set as "filler" to get free shipping on an order, so my expectations weren't all that high. However, they're really great funnels! Very durable and they seat well into even weirdly shaped openings and stay upright. Highly recommended!

This set of funnels is ideal for the cooking enthusiast who doesn't want to drop $20 on a set of funnels, but still needs something dependable and convenient. These funnels are made of a very sturdy plastic, which makes them easy to clean, rust free, and also really easy to work with. The non-slip grips on the outside are helpful and also give them a streamlined look.
I have yet to use the little strainer that is included, but it fits nicely onto the end of the smaller funnel, so it hasn't gotten lost like a lot of the other gadgets in my kitchen tend to do.
The plastic does scratch a bit with use, but I have noticed no cracks, chips, or warping.
These funnels are excellent tools and well worth the few dollars investment.

I have yet to use the strainer, but this set is amazing. At first, I questioned my judgement about buying funnels for 8 bucks, but when I put these babies to use, they were sturdy and the "grip" was the incredible. I had dollar store funnels that slipped all over the place making a huge mess on my white countertop. With these, there's no mess because they stay put inside whatever you stick them in with those rubber grip strips. They're even easier to clean because they don't stain (like those dollar store pieces of junk). Well worth it!
