The Kilner Stainless Steel Strainer Funnel is a simple, practical tool for transferring liquids, infusions, and semi-liquid preparations into narrow-neck bottles and jars. The removable straining disc sits within the funnel body and filters out fruit seeds, fine grains, pulp, and other solids as the liquid passes through, removing the need for a separate sieve at the bottling stage.

It is well suited to smaller-scale prep tasks: portioning homemade cordials, infused oils, fruit syrups, or batch-prepared juices into storage vessels before service. The stainless steel construction is practical in a professional environment — it is straightforward to clean, does not retain odours, and holds up well to regular use and the rigours of a commercial dishwasher.

A few things worth bearing in mind: this is a smallware item suited to light, intermittent use rather than high-volume bottling operations. The straining disc is effective for general filtering but is not a substitute for fine cheesecloth or specialist filtering equipment where a very clear, sediment-free result is required.

This funnel will suit cafés, small restaurant kitchens, bakeries, and preservation or condiment producers working at modest volumes. If your operation involves frequent, large-batch filling or finer filtration requirements, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or finer-mesh solution would be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this is the right tool for your specific prep workflow, the team is happy to help you work it out.

Frequently asked questions

Is this funnel suitable for hot liquids such as jams or syrups?

Stainless steel handles heat well and is generally appropriate for warm liquids, but care should be taken with very high-temperature preparations. Allow extremely hot liquids to cool slightly before pouring into glass jars to avoid thermal shock to the vessel.

How fine is the straining disc — will it remove very small particles?

The straining disc is effective for general filtering such as fruit seeds, pulp, and coarser grains. It is not designed for fine clarification — if you need a very clear, sediment-free result, a muslin cloth or fine-mesh filter used alongside the funnel would give a better outcome.

Can this funnel handle consistent high-volume use in a production kitchen?

It is well suited to light to moderate use in café, restaurant, or small-batch production environments. For operations bottling large quantities repeatedly throughout the day, a heavier-duty or purpose-built filling tool may be a more practical long-term choice.
