Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 5 1/2-Inch Stainless Steel Funnel with Detachable Strainer
Customer Review: Performed well but...
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: There should be no surprises with the operation of a funnel.

You cant be surprised with a funnel....it's a funnel. No moving parts. It does what a funnel does...It funnels lol. Well it's very well constructed. It's made solidly. The strainer is designed to filter out larger particles. What I'm working on is setting up a rig that will have 2 funnels. This 1 will catch the big particles, and the second 1 will be lined with a coffee filter. Cutting the top off of a soda bottle will work fine, and the spout even fits in most standard cooking oil containers. You can just use a coffee filter on a single funnel if you like, but it will take longer if your oil is dirty. Enjoy.Customer Review: great strainer/funnel

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.Customer Review: Sieve not fine enough for oil
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this funnel set specifically to save deep fry oil for reuse. While the body of the funnel seems fine, the wire mesh insert has holes that are large enough for floating particles in the oil to pass through. While it does get the bigger stuff out, the smaller stuff remains in the oil, which renders it useless to me. Perhaps I'll do as another reviewer did an use cheesecloth in conjunction with the body of the funnel instead of the sieve, and see if that works. Feels like a bad buy...Customer Review: Everything I hoped this funnel would be
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a funnel that would not slip around when I poured a large amount of oil from my deep fryer back into the oil container. Most funnels slipped or even came out of the bottle and caused the oil to spill all over the place. I'm happy to say that this funnel did an excellent job. It stayed put and the filter removed almost all of the particles left over from frying. It was impossible to find a funnel like this in my local shops.
