I have had min for 5 + years. I use it for dish soap. I love it, get a lot of compliments, and no dish soap waste or mess. I am going to buy more as presents for family and friends. ( FIRST review I have ever taken the time to write.)

Advantages: no waste

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

Love this. It works! When we first bought t I questioned whether it would work, and it does! The only time I ever lost anything over the edge was when I basically turned the pot upside down, oops! Grabbing another as a gift. Not the first time.

Advantages: Everything stays in the pot. Less cleanup. Pasta/beans/etc. stay warmer.

Great product! Very useful around the kitchen and a fantastic time saver.

Advantages: Easy to use. Easy to clean. Reduces mess.

I as so glad Chef's Planet came up with this product. It is well made and has become a staple in my kitchen.

Advantages: Keeps my counter clean and makes access to my sauces easy.


Disadvantages: None

this is the 3rd cruet ordered because am finding more uses for them. friends find them very unique and beautiful. use the small one for oil. one of these for dishwashing liquid, one for mouthwash. absolutely love these cruets

Advantages: useful beauty

Disadvantages: would not use in the bath for hand soap

I love mine!!! It's so easy to use and clean and I never get popped with boiling water or grease.

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!

These gloves are FANTASTIC! Absolutely the best thing I have ever found to protect my hands.

Advantages: Because they have actual fingers, you can grasp things easily and securely. Very flexible.

Disadvantages: Be careful should they get wet during the time you are using them. They lose the ability to protect you from the heat. It has only happened to me twice in years, but it's worth warning people.

The absolute best strainer ever! I bought this exclusively for my herbal teas.

Advantages: Secures easily to a jar

Disadvantages: none

Product works fantastic, but just read this is made of ABS plastic. Also just read, ABS is unsafe especially at higher temperatures, which of course boiling water is. Love to hear a response from the company on this.

*We questioned the manufacturer of this product and found that the material is actually made of Nylon, not ABS (an error on our packaging and website which will be addressed). The stainless steel clip is covered by a silicone gripper. The manufacturer rates the clip and drain to 120 °C / 248 °F) which is above the temperature of boiling water (100 °C / 212 °F) and safe for the proposed application.

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).

A GEM in the Kitchen .. This food scoop is an essencial tool for any kitchen. Yes, for fruits and vegetable; however, it is great for the pastry chef as well I love this tool to scoop up the leftover flour from the counter (it being a flat level counter of course) after making pies, hot biscuits, cookies, etc... I would highly recommend this for everyone who loves to chop veggies, fruits and after baking clean ups! 5 star for sure!!

Disadvantages: none for the food scoop itself .. only thing I can say is that I've had mine for over 8 yrs and people seeing mine can't find it any in store!

Love, love, love this filter funnel.

Advantages: Eliminates the need to strain the cold brew concentrate twice. There is less mess and it is easy to bottle.

Disadvantages: None

Smaller and better than a colander. This is a fantastic product! I've already purchased two and plan to get more as gifts. Why didn't someone think of this sooner?

Advantages: Easier to store and clean. Much less awkward than the alternatives.

Beautiful and high quality product. Perfectly elegant solution to sit on the counter top. Though generally durable, I broke the pouring tip by dropping it hard against a granite counter. I called customer service to order a new one and they sent me a new one free of charge! Excellent product; excellent company that stand behinds their product. Will shop for their products again.

Advantages: Elegant solution for easy pouring and storage.

Disadvantages: Slightly difficult to clean inside - but is dishwasher safe, so that's a plus.

Beautiful and handy to use. Mostly non-drip. But beware! Don't fill it too full. When it got too heavy I picked it up by the neck and it shattered!

Advantages: But I'm going to order another one anyway.

Disadvantages: See above.

First time I used this cruet, the pourer fall out of the box and broke. I wrote Chef's Planet about it and they replaced my pourer within a few weeks...no charge. Absolutely amazing customer service! I'm a new fan of Chef's Planet. Thank you!

Advantages: Beautiful, functional

Disadvantages: None

I use mine for dish soap & it works great! So sad that I broke the spout & it caused the cruet itself to break. I have had it for 4 years & love it so will be ordering a new one!

Fantastic for turning those grill cheese sandwiches and keeping it all together!

Advantages: Works great

Disadvantages: Non that I can see

Takes a little practice to master, but makes quick work--particularly doing multiples.

Advantages: Very quick and easy to use!

Disadvantages: Takes a little practice.

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.

Advantages: Cold Brew Coffee, Strain Grease, Canning, Soups.

Disadvantages: None

I've been searching for the perfect oil dispenser for years. My search ended when I received this as a gift a few years ago. The cruet is so beautiful on my counter and it works perfectly. It dispenses oil at the perfect rate with no mess. This is my go-to gift for friends and family! The best part of my experience is that when the spout broke due to my husband hitting it against the cabinet, I reached out to chef's planet customer service and they sent me a replacement the same week, no questions asked, free of charge. I would give this cruet and Chef's Planet more stars if I could!

Advantages: Beautiful, Easy to use, No oily mess

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.

I love this prep taxi and everyone who comes to cook in my kitchen wants one. I am ordering 4 more today as gifts.

Advantages: Large with sides that prevent spillage. LOVE.

Disadvantages: The only disadvantage I have experienced is not having more on hand to give as gifts.
