Years ago I saw a funnel advertised on the internet that lay flat and then you could fold and lock in place for the size you wanted. Has anyone seen this product? I keep looking, hoping to find it.

great idea! anohter storage tip is to hang it on the inside of one of the cabinet doors… maybe under the sink?

For your Aussie readers Woolworths are selling similar funnel for about $8. As Amazon won’t ship this funnel internationally (trust me, I tried buying one about 10 seconds after this post arrived in Google Reader) that is an easier option.

i have a round rubber jar lid opener that doubles as a funnel. it’s perfect for dry or wet stuff, and can be rolled tightly (for narrow bottles) or wider (for filling the pepper grinder). and then i just throw it in the dishwasher.

if you guys really want to unclutter, just double-use something you’ve probably already got.

i also use my steamer basket as a colander. 1 thing to store, 2 (at least) uses.

Matt,

Just this weekend I got frustrated with not being able to get my utensil drawer open and threw my funnel in the recycling bin. It frustrates me to no end that I can’t ever get the drawer open because of that one thing. Thanks for the solution!

I rarely need a funnel. But when I do, I fold a piece of aluminum foil into a cone.

@Johnny The collapsible part is a pretty sturdy rubber. It just has a molded bend in the right place (as seen in the above pic) so it folds uniformly. It’s easy to clean too. I’ve had my colander for a year and it looks and works like new.

How could a collapsable funnel ever be bland? My collapsable colander is da bomb and I wouldn’t be without one.

I understand your pleasure in this but our funnel is Pinnchio and his nose is the tube, it’s wall art that we can use

Have used something similar in our camping gear. Always trying to save space when camping.

I’m not the agreeable sort, but you’re absolutely right. This is incredible. My funnel is the -only- piece that doesn’t properly fit in my utensil drawer. It always gets stuck and jams it closed. Fantastic, since I use it but not all the time.

I’ve been looking to get collapsible kitchen tools (like a colander), but I’m concerned about the durability of the material. Folding and expanding something constantly puts a mechanical stress on the material and wears it out over time. How long do these collapsible items last in everyday cooking use?

I was going to say collapsible colanders would be great, but I see we’re covered there. Fantastic space savers.
