The perfect funnel. Use in narrow or wide mouth jars. Great for hot foods and liquids... won't melt like the plastic ones sometimes do. It is even heavier than I expected which means it won't "tip". For the money, this is the best funnel I've ever owned.

I purchased this funnel to use with come containers which have a 2-1/8 inch opening. This funnel will NOT fit because while its throat (inside diameter) is only 2 inches the outside diameter of the neck is a full 2-3/16 inches. It is not that it is thick-walled; it's not. But it does have a peculiar crimp or curve at the very bottom opening of the throat which creates an _inside_ lip which suddenly reduces the diameter of the throat for the last 0.007-inch. (A lip which needs a little extra cleaning attention after each use.)

This is a nice item. It is sturdy, has not rusted. It comes out of the dishwasher looking like new every time. It's a funnel, of course it works.

One person mentioned a small inward curve at the narrow end of the funnel. Food does not get caught on it, this person is hallucinating. This is obviously a safety feature. Without this inward curve, anyone who fell down on it would suffer a bad circle-shaped laceration. My compliments to the manufacturer for building in this safety feature.

This is perfect for dumping a pound of hot roasted coffee into a mason jar. The steel handles the heat very well and the shape sits securely on the jars. It's also very easy to clean with just a wipe of a paper towel or quick rinse in the sink or dishwasher.

Getting sauerkraut into regular quart canning jars can be a little messy, Even with wide mouth jars you lose a lot of time or spill a lot of cabbage getting the jars full. With this, no problem.

This funnel is GREAT!!! It's easy to clean, fits small to large glass jars.....what can I say? It's perfect and will save you a lot of time and cleanup when you are canning! The best I've seen, and you need one to contain every bit of your hard work in preserving! Buy one, you won't regret it. Also, you only have to buy it once, unless you loan it to a friend, and then, you probably won't get it back...it's that good.

Being that this funnel is stainless steel, it will never rust or even discolor. Its reasonably priced and definitely worth it. However I do agree with the other reviewer here that relates the difference in inside and outside diameters. If you are buying this for one specific purpose make absolutely certain that what your intending it for can handle a 2 1/8 opening. For it definitely has the 1/8 added to the outside that could be a big issue for some buyers....

I had an aluminum one that lasted for 40 years, but I never liked it. My gf bought me this one, and it's perfect. I love it, and I love her for buying it.

I've used this many times now for canning and other purposes and have no complaints! I especially love that it is stainless steel so it is safe to use with hot food.

I love this item. My mother had given me one years ago but its only about half the size as this one. I had so much canning to so this year & I used this alot. I definitely got my money's worth out of this purchase. I'd recommmend it to everyone that could use a helping hand when canning.
