RSVP International Endurance Canning Collection Non-Reactive 18/8 Stainless Steel, Dishwasher Safe, Ladle, 13-1/2"

These funnels are useful for many purposes and I decided to buy three different ones to compare. This is the highest quality, but it depends on your needs. I use large neck funnels in the potting shed for filling small pots and refilling certain of my bird feeders. I use them in the garage for filling the garden tractor and leaf vacuum gas tanks without spillage. In the kitchen, since I use Ball jars for many purposes, I’m always needing one there as well. Mostly the inexpensive green plastic one works fine, but I wanted to try the alternative models. There’s a stainless steel model with a cup-type handle and a wider top opening than the green plastic one. That funnel is great if you have a small jar that isn’t very deep because the bottom collar is only 1/2” deep where the green one is over an inch. Both have the same circumference opening at the bottom but the green one won’t sit on the little jars steadily, which the stainless steel one does. The stainless steel one has a wider top so is better at avoiding messy spillovers too. They work for regular and wide mouth jars. If you’re canning, you may appreciate that the green plastic one has the deeper bottom collar so you know when to stop filling the jar. Now, all that said, this RSVP funnel is my favorite for anything that uses a wide mouth jar. It has a wider neck (2 ¾”) and is made specifically for wide mouth jars. It fits inside their opening much more steadily than the other two. It is higher quality stainless steel with a high polished finished and thumb holds on both sides of the top rim for grasping. With the wide top opening and rim, and the steady fit in the jar mouth, spills are a thing of the past. The neck depth is midway between the longer one of the plastic funnel and the short one on the cup-handled stainless steel one. It comes exactly to the base of the jar collar. This suits me perfectly because I use the jars far more for non-canning uses like fresh squeezed juice or the extra serving of a smoothie I’m saving for the next day. Even when filling the jar with something I intend to freeze (and therefore need extra space left in the jar) I like being able to see that my chicken stock or whatever doesn’t quite reach the bottom of the funnel (where the official freeze-fill line is on the jar), especially since the green funnel tips back and forth on the jar collar so the depth of the contents can’t be accurately judged quickly from the top. This might seem like a small thing, but isn’t if you’re holding the heavy pan from which you’re pouring. While all three funnels will be useful to me for different reasons, this one is unquestionably the best quality and will be used the most for all my wide mouth jar needs.

This is a sturdy, heavy-duty stainless steel funnel. It works well for wide-mouth canning jars (but will not fit narrow-mouth canning jars). The funnel is well made of heavy stainless steel (much heavier material than the norpro stainless steel funnel which I also like). This funnel is quite stable when placed in wide-mouth canning jars and I use it regularly with gallon jars. I have had no trouble with liquid or dry ingredients. Although it is a bit pricy, because of its design, it will last a lifetime. Seems like a good investment.

Funnel finish is very good; it is polished all around and all edges are smooth. The wide stainless steel rim is unusual. It, and the tabs on it are handy if you want to hold onto it to steady it while using it. This design avoids the need for an added handle with the associated spot welds that, when not well done, may be a future failure point. And even the well done spot welds on other funnels (this funnel does NOT have any spot welds) discolor the metal a bit. The rim has the following text apparently engraved on it: Top, under tab with hole for hanging: "70mm (2-3/4") dia. neck" Bottom: "FOR WIDE MOUTH JARS" Left side, smaller print: "ENDURANCE 18/8 STAINLESS CHINA" Note that the 70mm (2-3/4") neck diameter specified appears to be the INSIDE diameter of the funnel neck. It is slightly larger ~71.5mm (just under 2-13/16") on the outside. It would not fit in a 70mm (2-3/4") hole, and probably not in a 71mm hole, but would fit snugly in a 72mm (2-13/16") hole. It fits very nicely in standard "Wide Mouth" canning jars, with just a little bit of room to spare around the funnel neck--not a tight fit, but not particularly sloppy either. For reference, I measured the inside diameter of a Bernardin Wide Mouth canning jar as about 75mm (2-31/32"). All in all, it's a quality funnel that should last a lifetime and then some. Though I like heavy weight items--which this isn't--it is the weight for the job and more would be overkill (not that overkill is necessarily a bad thing). It won't be bent or broken in anything remotely resembling normal use, dropping, etc.

Designed with purpose. This funnel is well made and reduces the need to clean up.

This wide mouth funnel is made for use with wide mouth canning jars and should work well. I'm just trying to use it in a **different** situation and while I'm, overall, mostly delighted with this funnel which is a single piece of formed metal (no welds to break, pieces to come loose), the interior diameter of the chute is slightly larger than the advertised 2.75". Great, right? Not really, because the resulting outer dimension is ~2 and 7/8 inches (as shown in the included photo) which is a bit snug as I am filling re-used sterilized pickle & salsa jars with grains or my home-made sauerkraut. The funnel can be gently wedged into the jar mouth to a depth of ~1/8 inch and certainly does NOT wobble. I am careful when inserting it so as to avoid cracking the jar mouth; similarly, I remove it by giving a slight rotational twist instead of a side-to-side jiggle/lift. So far, I've had no jar breakage. It does NOT fit into the mouth of my re-used peanut-butter/tahini jars (which measure ju-u-u-st under 2.75"), so this item is not as versatile in my use as I'd hoped in my longshot daydreams. Could I attempt to crimp the chute's edges inward to ease the fit in the pickle and salsa jars? Possibly, but that distortion would ruin the sleek, practical design which I truly appreciate. The edges feel thick and smooth enough to pose very little risk of accidental (or even intentional) cuts to one's fingers while using or cleaning. The top horizontal rim even has a nicely sized hanger hole. Again, this is a well-designed, sturdy, easy-to-clean funnel which seems to promise decades of future use in my kitchen. I'm just disappointed that the advertised dimensions weren't exactly accurate.

This product is of a very nice quality. It is thick, with no handle to break off (as other products in this class). It is also jar specific, wide mouth only, which I like because it holds in place well on wide mouth jars. I will definitely be ordering the one for standard jars. It is a bit more expensive than others on Amazon, but well worth it.

Was looking for a decent large size ladle for my grape jelly making. I needed stainless so ensure cleanliness and wanted something large enough to be used in a large stock pot. This fit all those needs. Built very well from quality stailness steel. I love the hooked end to sit on the lip of the pot so it doesn't slide down and the pour spout works very well.

It's a ladle, great for canning.... or trying your best at smashing rat's head in, but they're too damn fast (usually). Holds up in the dishwasher too!!!

Der Trichter ist solide gefertigt und passt perfekt für Wide Mouth Gläser. Besonders gut gefällt mir daß alles aus einem Stück gefertigt ist und kein Griff angeschweißt ist wie bei Trichtern anderer Hersteller.

Loved everything about this product immediately upon receipt. Excellent quality obvious. Perfect weight (not skimpy). Rest perfectly in Mason jars. Can’t believe I didn’t know about it sooner. Exceptionally easy to use and the weight of it makes it so sturdy and a perfect fit into the top of mason jars really almost so that you can ladle the food and not have to even hold it practically with the other hand. Don’t think a moment longer about it. It will be a fabulous purchase.

Great quality. Nice size for scooping drinks or soup. Nice long handle for large pots.

très satisfaite: depuis longtemps je cherchais une louche à bec verseur de cette contenance... droitier ou gaucher, la sangria ou le planteur ne dégoulinent plus le long des verres.

Rather long wait for this ladle but worth it. Nice and shiny with longish handle and no spillage because of the two 'pourers'. It replaced my usual ladle pretty quickly.
