Brill!

Previously the funnels I've used are a hard plastic and not nearly as useful. For example, one thing I didn't initially realise about these, is as well as being all different sizes, the holes are different shapes and sizes as well. This means that it's not just a different 'cup' size, but you can find one to fit almost any shape and size of item. The reality is I often found myself wishing I had a funnel for solids more than liquids. For example, when pouring pasta, candy, or literally anything from one container to another. In this regard, the large blue funnel is genius and means I have absolutely no clean up when pouring anything from one spot to another. Out of all the funnels, I've used that one the most.

I also found with my old funnels that the hole on the bottom often wasn't big enough and liquid 'backed up', that doesn't happen here. The only negative to these is my complaint about any silicone tools. Silicone is a nightmare for picking up dust and hair, so you often find yourself rinsing these before use. It's a trade-off to have the ability to flatten these. Let's talk about that, I absolutely love that they're able to be flat, it was what drew me to the idea of silicone funnels in the first place. My other funnels get stuck in the drawer constantly. These never do. Flattening them isn't as easy as just pushing (except for the black one, which flattens easiest), there is a knack. Start pushing the centre down and then use your whole hand to 'press' all over. Once you feel how it goes, the 'trick' as it were, you'll be able to flatten them super easily in the future.

It's been a while since I found a small kitchen tool this handy, or this much of an improvement over my old version, but that's what these funnels have done for me! The price is brilliant too. My old funnels are now relegated to craft use and these are in my kitchen. All hail the funnel!
