Whether you use wide-mouth jars for cold-brewing coffee, canning foods, prepping your homemade jams and marmalades, storing dry goods, or whatever else you can think up, being able to prevent spillages while pouring into them is always going to be helpful.

This single-piece stainless steel funnel — which comes from the same kitchenware family as this salt server that longtime fans of Good Eats will recognize — does the job exactly as you'd want it to. It's heavy-duty, easy to clean, has no sharp edges to worry about, no grooves for liquids to get caught in, and it has easy-to-grab handles on the sides so you don't have to worry about dropping the thing.

The funnel is $18 on Amazon and should last at least a lifetime, if not two or three.
