The funnel is a cone-shaped tool used to transfer liquids, powders or other substances from one container to another precisely and with full control. Usually made of plastic, stainless steel or glass, the funnel features a wide open spout at one end and a narrow tube at the other. Funnels can be used in a variety of settings, whether in the kitchen, pastry making, laboratories, industry or even at home. Their design directs the flow of liquid or substance into a target container without spilling or wasting any.
