Amazon.com Review: Enjoy the summery taste of peaches, tomatoes, and other garden bounty all year long with canning. This durable large-mouth funnel made of highly polished 18/10 stainless steel will soon become a favorite in the canning process. The bowl-shaped funnel channels to a 2-inch-wide mouth that fits all standard canning jars. Dishwasher-safe and easily sterilized, the funnel measures 5-1/2 by 3-1/4 inches and features a small handle for lifting or hanging. Steeltek covers the funnel with a lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - Great funnel
I've used this many times now for canning and other purposes and have no complaints! I especially love that it is stainless steel so it is safe to use with hot food.
Rating: - pleased shopper
I love this item. My mother had given me one years ago but its only about half the size as this one. I had so much canning to so this year & I used this alot. I definitely got my money's worth out of this purchase. I'd recommmend it to everyone that could use a helping hand when canning.
Rating: - Great for home coffee roasting
This is perfect for dumping a pound of hot roasted coffee into a mason jar. The steel handles the heat very well and the shape sits securely on the jars. It's also very easy to clean with just a wipe of a paper towel or quick rinse in the sink or dishwasher.
Rating: - 2-inch-wide mouth? Depends how you measure it.
I purchased this funnel to use with come containers which have a 2-1/8 inch opening. This funnel will NOT fit because while its throat (inside diameter) is only 2 inches the outside diameter of the neck is a full 2-3/16 inches. It is not that it is thick-walled; it's not. But it does have a peculiar crimp or curve at the very bottom opening of the throat which creates an _inside_ lip which suddenly reduces the diameter of the throat for the last 0.007-inch. (A lip which needs a little extra cleaning attention after each use.)
Rating: - It's a funnel, of course it works.
This is a nice item. It is sturdy, has not rusted. It comes out of the dishwasher looking like new every time. It's a funnel, of course it works.
One person mentioned a small inward curve at the narrow end of the funnel. Food does not get caught on it, this person is hallucinating. This is obviously a safety feature. Without this inward curve, anyone who fell down on it would suffer a bad circle-shaped laceration. My compliments to the manufacturer for building in this safety feature.
