Frequently Asked Questions
Funnels are an essential kitchen tool for transferring liquids, powders and dry ingredients safely and accurately. At IG Group, we supply a range of commercial funnels, including plastic and stainless steel options, designed for restaurants, bakeries, cafes, bars and catering businesses.
What is a kitchen funnel used for?
A kitchen funnel is used to transfer liquids and dry ingredients into bottles, jars and containers with narrow openings. Funnels help prevent spills, reduce waste and improve accuracy during food preparation and storage.
What size funnel do I need?
The right funnel depends on the size of the container and the ingredients being transferred. Small funnels are ideal for bottles and spice jars, while larger funnels are better suited to bulk ingredients, sauces and oils.
What size funnel is best for bottles?
The best funnel size depends on the bottle opening and the ingredient being transferred. Small funnels are ideal for narrow-neck bottles used for oils, dressings and flavourings, while medium and large funnels are better suited to wider bottles, jars and bulk containers. Choosing the correct size helps reduce spills, improve accuracy and speed up food preparation in commercial kitchens.
Can you use a funnel for hot liquids?
Yes, you can use a funnel for hot liquids, provided it is made from a heat-resistant material. Stainless steel funnels are ideal for transferring hot stocks, sauces, oils and other liquids in commercial kitchens because they are durable and designed to withstand high temperatures. Always follow the manufacturer's care and usage instructions.
