This is the best device for removing particles from frying oil. I have saved enough money using this funnel in the past several months by re-using cooking oil to pay for it ten times over!
Advantages: Removes unwanted crumbs from cooking oil, allowing the oil to be used over again. Saves money on the cost of wasting oil.
Disadvantages: None

I use the multi purpose filter funnel set to strain homemade stock, and to reuse cooking oil.
Handy tool for the kitchen but I wish the plastic was more heat resistant.
Advantages: Easy to use and clean.
Disadvantages: I melted the pre-filter when I poured hot rendered chicken fat (schmaltz) and skin through the filter funnel. The melted plastic coated the main body of the funnel.
I wish I knew what the maximum safe temperature was, so I could use a thermometer to gauge when I can pour hot liquid through the funnel filter.
*We contacted the manufacturer and the pre-filter and wide-mouth funnel are made of Polypropylene (PP). The approved temperature for use is 248 F (120 C).

I have purchased several filter funnel sets and never had one before that was as easy to use and clean up afterwards and that strained the minute particles as the set does. I highly recommend this to anyone that needs a great funnel system to strain oils, broths, juices or any other liquid that needs straining. Also saved money by straining and reusing the cooking oils and without having to purchase other supplies to strain minute particles from th6e oil.

Best strainer ever! I used this the first time today for tea but am looking forward to using it to strain my expensive peanut oil! Excellent product! (Obviously always let your oil or other hot items cool a bit before straining as all pieces are plastic!)
Advantages: Easy to use and clean!

I've just started using the filter and love it. First thing I did was chicken bone broth and tonight, fried chicken. Sure beats the coffee filter lined sieve!
Advantages: Ease of use
Disadvantages: None

Forget straining, bulk to small container too. Inherently stable even in a long neck liquid bottle. For med. Size chunks into smaller than widemouth I used my canning funnel instead of orange piece. Genius.
Advantages: Stability. Will show pictures if you email me.
I save $$ with bulk buying but the transfer dry and liquid was so messy. This no residue on counters. The vents. Science 101. Air out before product in.
Med size berry strainer, dry sieve etc.
Disadvantages: None.

This thing is the best. Excellent for straining fry grease as everyone has stated. My favorite use for strainer/funnel is making cold brew coffee, and this is better than any other system out there. Take 6-8 tablespoons of ground coffee and fill a quart wide mouth jar with good filtered water. Soak in fridge for 24 to 48 hours stirring 1 or 2 times or just shake it up. Then screw the strainer on another wide mouth jar and poor the coffee to strain, remove filter put lid on and put back in fridge for up to 2 weeks. This makes very strong but non acidic coffee. You can add to ice and blend for the best ice coffee ever because it wont taste like watered down brewed coffee. If you like hot coffee then heat up a half to three quarters cup of water as well as cream and/or sugar and then add cold brew to it. Mmm with this funnel/strainer don't know if I will be brewing coffee ever again.
